With An Uncontested Divorce In Georgia Couples Experience Less Trauma

By Marie White


The world today offers many advantages and opportunities, but it is also incredibly demanding. Everyone seems to be under tremendous pressure. Unfortunately, relationships and marriages often fall victim to these many pressures and that is one of the reasons why so many people opt for divorces. The rate of divorcing is so high that numerous lawyers make a good living from this branch of the legal field. However, with an uncontested divorce in Georgia it is possible to keep the costs down.

Contested divorces are often ugly and very bitter fights between two angry people that are willing to wash all their dirty laundry in open court. In these divorces the partners cannot agree on the terms of their separation and they each have to appoint an attorney to fight on their behalf. This can be prohibitively expensive, especially if the case is protracted and is kept on the court rolls for days on end.

If a marriage simply cannot be saved and divorcing is inevitable, the best solution is to approach the matter in an adult, reasonable manner. If each partner is willing to compromise and to communicate with each other they can reach agreement on all the important issues involved in divorcing. A reasonable approach can speed things up, the trauma is less and there are fewer negative emotions involved.

Because a marriage is a legal bond it can only be dissolved through legal channels. There are many laws involved when a marriage is dissolved and even the most sensible couple may need some help to finalize the matter. If they hire a lawyer, they only need one that will guide them both through the process and present the final agreement to the court for endorsement. This is a much cheaper option.

Lawyers are expensive and even couples being reasonable and using only one lawyer will still have to pay a hefty fee. They do have other options, however. They can opt for the services of a counselor that has been trained in this field and that has been licensed to draw up the final agreements between divorcing couples. Their services cost only a fraction of what the legal fees will be.

All professionals, including counselors and lawyers charge for their time. Divorcing couples can therefore save even more money by consuming as little time as possible from such a professional. This can be done by drawing up a list of every decision that must be made, to discuss every item on the list and to note the decision reached by the couple. This means that the only thing the professional has to do is to draw up the final documents.

Couples that dissolve their marriages in an amicable manner not only save money. If there are children in the marriage, they often suffer severe trauma in contested cases. When they witness their parents discussing the matter in a mature, reasonable manner they do not suffer as much. Other family members and friends also deal with divorces much better when they are handled in a reasonable and civilized manner.

Divorces have become a fact of life and the nature of relationships has changed. It is sad when things fall apart but at least it is better if the divorcing couple do not hurt their families and friends in the process too. Contested cases can be spiteful and mean and nobody wins in the end.
