In Geogria Uncontest Divorce Is Much Less Traumatic Than A Protracted Court Battle

By Martha Butler


The heart breaking process of divorcing is an ordeal that more and more couples, and, of course, their children have to endure each year. Many religious leaders lament the fact that changes to the law has made it easier than ever before to dissolve a marriage. Couples are not, for example, compelled to seek professional help before finally ending their marriage. If there are no alternatives for couples in Geogria uncontest divorce is at least better than a bitter fight in court.

Divorcing couples often do not realize just how humiliating, expensive and traumatic contested separations can be. Such cases are heard in open court and the records can be published and broadcast. Each party will have to hire his or her own lawyer, often at tremendous cost. Protracted cases often erode the joint estate of the separating couple to the extent that little remains to fight about.

Before a marriage can be dissolved many decisions have to be made and both partners have to agree to those decisions. In uncontested cases the couple can list all the decisions that must be made and discuss them one by one. A lawyer can help such couples to understand their legal rights and obligations. In this way agreement can be reached without having to fight matters out in open court.

No couple should think of dissolving their marriage without at least some help from a professional. There are numerous laws that come into play when a marriage union is dissolved because every one of the parties involved, including the children, has certain rights. A lawyer or properly licensed counsellor will facilitate the process of negotiation and make sure that all agreements reached are legal and fair.

Unfortunately, an amicable dissolving of a marriage is not always possible. In instances where the separation is caused by physical, emotional and sexual abuse, or where one partner simply refuses to cooperate there may be no other option other than to sue for a contested divorce in open court. In some cases a couple simply cannot agree on an important issues such as custody matters or the division of assets.

Not even uncontested divorces are cheap. Lawyers charge for every minute of their time. Divorcing couples would therefore be well advised to try and reach agreement on all major issues privately before engaging a lawyer. This can save a lot of time and money. The role of the lawyer would then be to make sure that all the agreements are legal and to draw up a final separation agreement.

There are many advantages offered by uncontested divorces. Firstly, they are much cheaper because no more than one lawyer needs to be paid. Secondly, the matter is dealt with in the chambers of the judge and the couple is not exposed to public scrutiny. If there are children involved, the chances are better that they will be less traumatised by the entire process.

Many people lament the fact that marriage is no longer a sacred institution and that the until death do us part clause have become redundant. The fact is that numerous marriages break up. If such break downs of a marriage can be managed in a civilized manner, at least all the parties concerned will experience less trauma and stress.
