Duluth Uncontested Divorce Attorneys
Divorcing spouses who can get along and communicate often believe that an uncontested divorce is right for them. However, they may not fully understand what the term means or what it really involves. Strictly speaking, an uncontested divorce is one that is not tried before a judge. However, it does not mean that the spouses agree on everything. In fact, they seldom do.
The Benefits of Uncontested Divorce
The attorneys at our Georgia law firm, The Wren Law Firm, help divorcing clients avoid disputes that lead to litigation. Even when significant negotiation or mediation is required to resolve problems that arise, couples who stay out of court usually enjoy advantages such as:
- Saving money
- Saving time
- Reducing stress for the parties and their children
- Controlling the outcome of the case (rather than allowing a judge to dictate terms)
- An open line of communication
An uncontested divorce often works best for couples who have little property and no children. When children and/or property are involved, custody, support and property division issues can become complicated very quickly. Having an experienced divorce lawyer can help resolve contested issues and still keep the spouses out of court.
Why a Lawyer Is Helpful in Uncontested Divorce
When the uncontested divorce process works as planned, the divorce is finalized in a timely manner, usually without a final hearing. Reaching this point, however, requires that the parties have a clear understanding and agreement on the issues at hand, child custody, property division and division of marital debt. It is always a good idea to consult with an attorney if you don't know how the divorce laws in your state apply. What you don't know can hurt you and this is why it is important to consult an attorney, however amicable the parties are.
