Certain third-party expenses, such as mediator fees or court-ordered professional services, are not included. Refunds, if applicable, are governed by the terms of your service agreement.
What should I do if I have been served with divorce papers in Georgia?
If you have been served with divorce papers in Georgia, it is important to review the petition and understand your response deadline. In most Georgia divorce cases, a defendant must file an answer within 30 days of service. An attorney can help you evaluate the claims, prepare your response, and protect your interests throughout the proceedings. Flat Fee Family Law offers full-case representation for $3,500 when responding to a divorce petition.
Can I switch to this service if my case has already started?
Yes. If you have been representing yourself or wish to change attorneys, we can step in at any stage for the same flat fee.
Is mediation required in Georgia?
Some counties require mediation before trial. We handle preparation, negotiation strategy, and attendance as part of your flat-fee service. Clients are required to pay the mediator’s fees as directed by the court.
Does your flat fee include court hearings and trial?
Yes. Our full-case divorce representation includes court hearings and trial, when necessary, through final judgment, as outlined in your service agreement.
What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorce in Georgia?
An uncontested divorce generally means both spouses agree on all issues, including property division, custody, child support, and alimony, where applicable. A contested divorce involves disagreements that require negotiation, mediation, or court intervention. Even contested divorces can be resolved through settlement without going to trial. Flat Fee Family Law offers both uncontested divorce services and full-case representation for contested matters.
