Anyone Can Have A Cheap Divorce In GA

By Dorothy Robinson


For most of us the word divorce conjures up images of emotional courtrooms, fights over offspring, and a high lawyer fee. The truth of the matter is, most divorces these days involve nothing more than standard forms and a signature from a Judge. Most anyone with a little effort can get a cheap divorce in GA.

Obtaining this legal status change cheaply will mean that the filer seeks a No Fault proceeding. This means that neither party is accusing the other of any wrongdoing. Few citizens realize that, even when child support is being sought, a No Fault proceeding is what they probably need to pursue, and this can be obtained for less than $500 in some instances.

For someone who has been through the process before, they may be able to use their prior documents as a template for the current situation. As long as they include the fact that the marriage has been permanently broken with no chance of reconciliation, the Judge will likely grant their wish. Without that specific wording, the Judge will send them home to edit their document, since that wording establishes the grounds for divorce.

Most divorces are done as a captioned report, and one caption should include how the parties intend to split property. Another caption should include information about the children, outline visitation rights and expectations, as well as delineate child support requirements. There should be a sentence in there specifying that no parent should interfere in the relationship between the child or children and the other parent, or the Judge might not let it go through.

Most firms offer No Fault divorces for $500 to $1000 because this is a training opportunity for students just out of law school. However, a smart individual, or someone with legal experience, can pursue their proceeding having incurred only the expense of a filing fee. Often these fees are $200 or less, and even if the Judge sends them back due to missing wording in the original document, a revision can be filed under the same case number without incurring an additional fee.

That being said, Judges do prefer to assign basic counseling services to families in these cases. To make sure the matter goes through smoothly, the parents should be present and able to verbally accept the counseling recommendation made. If they are not both present, and this particular Judge is a stickler about counseling, he or she might not approve their petition at that time.

For particularly savvy people who are able to draft their own decree utilizing an online template, or the wording of their own prior proceeding, they can accomplish this without any attorney at all. In the United States it is always recommended that one have representation before standing before a Judge, but it is not required. If both individuals are willing to sign off on what they decide together, they can get the signature of a Judge and only have to cover the cost of filing the documents with civil court.

It is almost never appropriate for the children to be present at these proceedings. In fact, if small kids or their parents make a scene, the Judge will tell them to leave the courtroom. So, be sure to get a babysitter before you have your day in court.
