The Hughes Law office offers its clients low cost uncontested divorces in Georgia. Our fees are the lowest you will find for the quality of work that we do for you. And uncontested divorce without children costs $495 plus filing fees, while in uncontested divorce with children costs $995 plus filing fees. The attorney fees include filing a motion for judgment on the pleadings, which is a formal request to the court not to have a final hearing. These are routinely granted, but they involve extra work for the attorney without impacting the low-cost of the divorce.

One of the reasons we are able to offer low cost uncontested divorces in Georgia is that all filings are online, mainly using the electronic filing system managed by PeachCourt. Indeed, even judges now file their final judgment and decree of divorce electronically through PeachCourt. This saves time. Long gone are the days when attorneys or their assistance had to file documents in person in the clerk’s office, and attorneys had to appear in person with their clients for final hearings.

Although we say that divorces are now granted online, this does not mean that a petitioner can simply fill out a form and obtain a divorce. Specific documents still have to be prepared for filing. For example, there are no online forms for motions for judgment on the pleadings or proposed final judgment and decrees of divorce. Every divorce is different, and the differences can be significant. In general, parties with children seeking an uncontested divorce need the help of an attorney. The child support worksheet, for example, is not self-explanatory and despite the best efforts of the Georgia child-support commission. Divorcing couples who tried to do all this on their own often wind up with the wrong figures, which can result in very substantial sums of money owed in the future. And it should be self-evident that where substantial assets are involved, such as a home, timeshare, vehicles, etc., the reasonable fees of an attorney are well justified.
