I live in Georgia and was wondering what am I looking at as far as costs to get a no contest divorce? He will probably agree to letting me keep the house and we have no other debt in our names together. [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img]

I'm not sure bout your state specifically, but it all depends on if you are having lawyers, a mediator, or pro se (no lawyers). The average retainer for a lawyer in a divorce case is $1500. Then the initial filing fee can be waived if you are indigent (really really poor like me) then they can also waive the fee for service of papers. Make a quick call to your family court commissioners office in your county. They should be able to give you a quick rundown.<p>Elizabeth

morton, I live in texas and when I divorced 4 years ago, it didn't cost me a cent. I used a book called "how to do your own divorce in TExas"-I check amazon.com-there is a version for georgia.<p>We had kids but no real property and everything must be agreed upon. It was really easy and FREE!!!<p> http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1572481374/qid=1015863947/sr=12-1/104-0775973-8299163<p>[ March 11, 2002: Message edited by: diddallas ]</p>
