How we check our facts

Where our facts come from

• Georgia law: the Official Code of Georgia, linked to long-established law publishers.
• Court rules: the Uniform Superior Court Rules, cited to the Supreme Court of Georgia's own official copy.
• Fees, forms and local rules: each county clerk's and court's own website, fee schedules, forms and standing orders.
• Other topics: the government agency or legal aid office responsible.

We don't use law firm marketing pages or online divorce services as sources.

Every fact is cited and dated

• Facts link to the exact source they come from, and every page lists its sources.
• Guides show the date they were last updated. County pages show the date they were last checked.

We keep it current

• Fees, phone numbers, forms, court rules and the laws we cite are rechecked regularly against their sources.
• When something changes, the page is updated and its date changes with it. A person reviews every change before it's published.
• Most new Georgia laws take effect July 1, so each spring we review the laws passed that year.
• A county gets its own page only once its court, rules and local help are confirmed from official sources. Until then, it's listed on our Georgia page with what we've verified.

Fair to both sides

• We write as if both spouses might read the page, and we don't take sides.
• No one pays to influence what a guide says. If we show paid law firm listings in the future, they'll be clearly labeled as advertising and kept separate from the guides.
• Guides that a Georgia family lawyer has reviewed will say so, with the lawyer's name.

Other languages

Our Spanish pages are written in Spanish from the same verified facts, not machine-translated, and every number and deadline is checked against the English page.
