Marietta Uncontested Divorce Lawyer
When you and your spouse agree on the major issues, divorce can be efficient and dignified. We handle the paperwork and the details so an uncontested divorce stays simple — and truly final.
What makes a divorce uncontested
A divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse agree on all the major issues — dividing property and debts, custody and parenting time, child support, and alimony. There's no court battle; the court simply reviews and approves your agreement.
Georgia's requirements
At least one spouse must have lived in Georgia for six months, and the ground is that the marriage is 'irretrievably broken.' You'll typically need a marital settlement agreement, a parenting plan (if you have minor children), financial affidavits, and a Child Support Worksheet where children are involved.
How long it takes
Georgia's minimum 30-day waiting period after service still applies. Without children, an uncontested divorce often finalizes in about 30 to 60 days; with children, it can take up to about 90 days because of the parenting plan and support worksheet.
The process, step by step
We prepare and file your paperwork in the Superior Court clerk's office, serve your spouse (or have them acknowledge service), and — after the waiting period, and a brief hearing if your judge requires one — the court finalizes the divorce.
Faster and cheaper — but it has to be airtight
Uncontested divorce is less expensive, quicker, and far less stressful, and it makes co-parenting easier afterward. The catch: the agreement has to be complete and correct, because gaps cause expensive problems down the road. That's exactly what we make sure of.
