Atlanta Uncontested Divorce during the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic

During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the Hughes Law Office continued to provide its clients with full-service Atlanta uncontested divorce services for a fair flat fee in record time, averaging 5-6 weeks per uncontested divorce. This is an extraordinary achievement at a time when the Georgia courts are essentially not functioning. I fact, beginning in may 2020, the Cobb County courts shut down. No hearings or trials were held – not even criminal trials.  There was a concerted effort to empty the prisons of non-violent offenders as the pandemic reaped victims at an alarming rate. This spilled over into family law as well, because judges were advised not to incarcerate defendants for failure to pay child support and other contempt matters. The only part of the court system that continues working efficiently in the family law area are Atlanta uncontested divorces and uncontested divorces in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. The reason is that an Atlanta uncontested divorce does not require a court appearance and all documents can be filed online, using one of Georgia’s electronic portal. In effect, documents are filed by scanning them in the PeachCourt portal.  Visits to the county Clerk’s Office for filing are a thing of the past. And Final Judgments ad Decrees of Divorce are served by the assigned judge using the same filing method, with the result that parties to an Atlanta uncontested divorce are served with the decree by email.
