uncontested divorce in georgia
When you and your spouse agree on the key issues, our Atlanta attorneys can guide you through a streamlined divorce with minimal stress and cost.
Uncontested Divorce in Georgia
An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues — division of property, debt allocation, child custody, child support, and alimony (if applicable). Because there are no disputes to litigate, the process is significantly faster and more affordable than a contested divorce.
Even in an uncontested divorce, having an experienced Georgia attorney draft and review your settlement agreement is essential. Errors or omissions in your agreement can create costly problems years down the road.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Uncontested Divorce in Georgia — FAQs
How long does an uncontested divorce take in Georgia?
Georgia has a 30-day waiting period after the petition is filed. Most uncontested divorces are finalized within 45 to 90 days, depending on the court's schedule.
Do both spouses need an attorney?
No, but it is strongly advisable for at least one party to have legal representation. If we represent one spouse, the other should seek independent counsel before signing.
What if we agree on most things but not everything?
If there are unresolved issues, the divorce becomes contested for those specific matters. We can still help negotiate a full agreement and avoid a full trial.
Can I get an uncontested divorce if we have children?
Yes. As long as both parents agree on custody, visitation, and child support, the divorce can proceed as uncontested. The court will review the parenting plan to ensure it serves the children's best interests.
