How To File For A Divorce Uncontested Georgia

By Melissa Olson


In most marriages, divorce may happen and which can be caused by soo many factors within the marriage may it be internal or external. It may be after years or just months. It does not matter as it can happen no matter how old the marriage is. Many are times that it brings out the worst in people. People who once loved each other become so cruel to each other. The article below gives guidelines to successful divorce uncontested Georgia.

We mostly consider marriage to be that piece of paper. However, not everyone believes it to be. Some people just hold ceremonies and exchange vows. They do not make it known to the law. In such a case, filing for a divorce is not necessary. If, however, papers were signed during, before or after the separation, filing is necessary.

You have to decide which county you will be filing in. In general, you are supposed to in the county of your spouses residence. If they have moved out of the state of Georgia, then you can file in your own county. If the separation is uncontested and your spouse consents, you may file in your own county as it does not matter how long they have been residents. It is, however, safe to wait 30 days.

You should gather all the information you can for the petition. This part requires very specific information that you may not know where to start. Luckily, there is the legal aid of Georgia. They have made your work so much easier by drawing up a questionnaire that gets all the information needed. Parts that are not necessary can be crossed out.

Changing names is not a necessity in a marriage, but it is very common. During the separation, this is an issue that will come up. The spouse with the name of the other may decide to go back to their original last name. They may also choose the newly acquired name which they can only keep with the consent of their spouse.

As they say, separation is not cheap. You need a certain fee to file for it. The fee is usually around $200. There are fees for other procedures like document preparation. If your income rate is not that high, you may ask for a waiver or complete termination of the fee. The request may be either accepted or denied by the court.

You need to agreeable terms such as custody. You also need to know how much time each parent gets with the child. After a conclusion has been reached you need to sign the papers in the presence of the notary. The signing is preferred in blue ink as a way of showing the originality of the signatures.

Afterwards, you are to head down to the court house to file the necessary papers. From there you will be assigned a court hearing date. After the hearing is done, you will get a copy of the separation papers for your own keeping and await finalization.
