Georgia Divorce

Georgia Uncontested Divorce

For a Georgia Uncontested Divorce both parties must fully agree. The agreement should include who gets what property or assets, how to split the debt like credit cards and mortgages, child custody, child support, and alimony issues.

This type of divorce is usually much easier on the parties and more economical.

If children are at issue, then both parties will need to fill out a Financial Affidavit, Parenting Plan and a Child Support Worksheet.

We ask that only one party come into the office. Let’s fill out the necessary paperwork.  You should have already decided how to divide the marital property, debts, and any support issues.  We will then complete and notarize all documents for the other party’s signature.

It is so important to stay pleasant.  Even if you never were during your marriage. The lines of communication need to stay open.  If both of you can’t speak, then it makes it harder to agree.  Now, if you have kids, then this is a must.  The both of you will share the most important thing in your lives together…your kids.

For at least 18 ears, the two of you will have something in common.  But it does not end at the age of majority.  Properly done, in my opinion, your relationship should last the rest of your lives.  Your child or children are equal parts you and them, so don’t say anything bad about the other.  Any insults about one party that the child overhears is an insult to the child.
