How Fast is Fast?

Strictly speaking, a no-contest divorce means a divorce based on no-fault grounds. However, in common parlance the term no contest means essentially that the divorce is an agreed divorce or an uncontested divorce.

At the Hughes Law office we specialize in offering cheap, fast, no-contest divorces. These are divorces in which the parties are in agreement on all issues, including the signing of the documents, before they are all filed together in what amounts to an open and shut case. Are flat fee for an uncontested divorce without children is $495. The filing fee varies from one County to another but is around $275.

What does fast mean? In Georgia there is a 31-day waiting period from the date the pleadings are filed. Theoretically therefore a divorce could be granted exactly 31 days after filing. In practice, it takes a little longer than that — about five to six weeks altogether, taking into account the time it takes to file a motion for judgment on the pleadings and for the assigned judge to sign the final judgment and decree of divorce.
