Anyone Can Have A Cheap Divorce In GA

By Dorothy Robinson


Television has created the illusion that divorces are emotionally charged courtroom dramas. In reality, they are very mundane to the legal profession, and represent great profit for very little effort on the part of the lawyer and his or her staff. There are options available for most people to obtain 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.

People with a past history of divorcing might be able to use their prior documents as a template for filing a current proceeding. So long as the wording is correct, and both parties sign off on it before their court date, the Judge is likely to sign off on their petition. If they do not specifically say that the marriage is permanently broken with no hope of being reconciled, then the Judge will send them back stating that they have failed to establish grounds for divorcing.

Within the document should be a caption that covers how any and all jointly owned property should be divided. Another caption should outline the full names and any other information about minor children. They need to be sure and include a sentence that binds both parties from speaking ill of the other parent, and then it should delineate visitation, child support, schooling, health insurance, and other matters as they pertain to minor children the couple shares.

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.

It is always recommended that both parties be present for the proceeding, however. Sometimes judges like to make the family undergo counseling or even group therapy for both the children and adults in divorced families. Such services are available to help everyone involved, but if one party is not present, the Judge cannot really make this a requirement for all of them.

Having an attorney is not a requirement in the United States for any civil matter. There is a great deal of information available Online which can help walk a petitioner through the process of anything from divorces, basic name changes, or even matters of employee law. Divorces, in the eyes of the court, are no more serious a matter than most any small claims proceeding.

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.
