Divorce with Confidence
Under Georgia law, a mandatory waiting period of 30 days applies after filing a Petition for Divorce with the Superior Court. This waiting period must pass before a judge may grant a Final Judgment and Decree of Divorce. Commonly referred to as a “cooling-off period,” this timeframe is intended to allow both parties to reflect on their decision and, if possible, reconcile before the divorce is finalized.
Filing promptly allows the waiting period to begin sooner and may help expedite the overall timeline. However, there is no guarantee that the judge will sign the Final Judgment immediately after the 30-day period ends. Timing depends on the judge’s availability and the court’s caseload.
O.C.G.A. § 19-5-3
“No court shall grant a divorce until 30 days after the filing of the complaint.”

The cost of a divorce in Georgia depends on how you choose to complete the process. Traditional attorney-handled divorces often require large retainers, hourly billing, and multiple court hearings - which can quickly make even a simple uncontested case extremely expensive.
But if you and your spouse are in agreement, you can avoid those costs entirely.
With GeorgiaDivorceOnline.com, you get a licensed attorney-managed process completed 100% online, with clear flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees.
