Built for couples who already agree.
An uncontested divorce works when both spouses agree on every issue — who gets what property, how debts are split, and, if there are minor children, custody and support. If you and your spouse are on the same page, there's no reason to pay for a courtroom fight neither of you wants.
What the flat $799 fee covers
- Reviewing your situation and confirming an uncontested divorce fits (Georgia residency requirements, grounds, and whether every issue is actually agreed)
- Drafting the settlement agreement reflecting the terms you and your spouse have already worked out
- Preparing and filing the divorce petition and required paperwork with the court
- Handling service on your spouse (or preparing an acknowledgment of service if your spouse will sign one)
- Seeing the case through to a final decree
One flat fee, agreed up front — I don't run an hourly clock while paperwork moves through the court.
Georgia's basic requirements
To file for divorce in Georgia, either you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least six months before filing (O.C.G.A. § 19-5-2). Most uncontested divorces are filed on the "no-fault" ground that the marriage is irretrievably broken (O.C.G.A. § 19-5-3(13)). Georgia law does not allow a judge to grant a divorce on that ground until at least 30 days have passed since your spouse was served — so even a fully agreed, uncontested case has a built-in minimum timeline before it can be finalized. Exactly how long it takes beyond that minimum depends on the county court's schedule.
When this isn't the right fit
If you and your spouse disagree about property, debt, custody, or support — or if one spouse won't cooperate with paperwork or service — the case isn't uncontested, and a flat fee won't be the right structure. Call me and we'll talk through what you're actually dealing with before you pay anything.
What Douglas County clients say.
Real reviews from real clients — see them for yourself.
"I needed some help with forms required to file an uncontested divorce. I entered all the forms without question with the clerk at the courthouse and felt so relieved step 1 towards a divorce was underway. Ed provided guidance and feedback with an open mind with my particular circumstances. I appreciate his efforts and promptness. I know I made the right decision to use his services and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counseling and/or representation."
"Very responsive. Goes above and beyond for their client."
