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.

It is required that you file the divorce in the county where your ex to be resides. This can only happen if you are in the same state. If your spouse, however, moves to another state, you can file the separation in your own county. It is not necessary that the other person is in the same county. It will, however, be safe to wait for about a month.

The next step is to gather information for a petition. The petition needs specific details on why you want to file for separation. You may wonder where to start. Luckily the legal aid of Georgia will come to your rescue. They have come up with forms which you can fill with all the necessary details. There are many things needed the fill, but you can always cancel all the unnecessary sections.

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.

You have to pay the fee for filing. It is approximately $200 in order to simply file for a separation. There are additional fees for things like document preparation. If you are low income, you may feel some papers for the fee to be reduced or waived. The court may accept or deny the request. If denied, the court will put a date on the calendar when they will listen to the case upon payment.

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.
