A commonly asked question we get is “What the difference is between a contested divorce and an uncontested divorce?”
An uncontested divorce in Georgia can be done when both of the parties (both spouses) are in total agreement to all the terms of the divorce and the divorce based on a claim of irreconcilable differences. See O.C.G.A. 19-5-3 (2017)
Additional Information Regarding Uncontested Divorces >>
In a Georgia uncontested divorce, the parties must be in complete agreement on how their property will be divided, how their debts will be divided, what the terms will be for child custody and child support. Also, the parties will be in total agreement regarding how much, if any spousal support / alimony will be paid and for how long. If the parties are not in agreement on any significant term of the divorce, then an uncontested divorce cannot be filed.
This “complete agreement” must be memorialized in the form of a signed and notarized Divorce Settlement Agreement. And if there are minor children in the marriage, an agreed upon Child Support Addendum and Parenting Plan must also be reached. All agreements filed with the court must be signed, dated and notarized Along with several other legally required documents, these agreements must be filed with the uncontested divorce case.
Even if the parties are in total agreement regarding their children, assets, debts and spousal support putting this agreement into a legal document the court will approve without the help of a divorce lawyer can be difficult. The Georgia uncontested divorce attorneys at Coleman Legal Group, LLC have negotiated and drafted numerous divorce agreements and will able to take your agreed terms and prepare a complete collection of legal documents the court will accept and approve.
Will I Have to Go to a Court?
In most uncontested divorces, going to the court for a final hearing is not usually necessary. Most uncontested divorces are granted within sixty (60) days without a court hearing. However, in the event your case is filed in a court that requires final hearings or the judge in your case has a policy of scheduling all uncontested divorced for a final hearing, it will usually be a very brief hearing. Only the person asking for the divorce (the petitioner or plaintiff) will need to go to any final hearing. This is a consideration that needs to be addressed if two spouses are in total agreement about the divorce, but one spouse will be traveling or otherwise unavailable for a unlikely, but possible court hearing.
