With Budget Uncontested Divorce GA Marriages Can Be Dissolved Cheaply

By Carolyn Davis


Divorces used to be frowned upon by society and divorced people often found themselves socially excluded. This is most certainly no longer the case. Divorces are commonplace, there are numerous one parent families and, in general, marriages do not last as long as they used to. There are now numerous lawyers and special courts dealing with divorces exclusively and the process have become much easier. By going for a budget uncontested divorce GA couples can limit the cost of divorcing.

It is a sad fact that so many lawyers specializing in divorces encourage their clients to fight every tiny detail involved in the final agreement. This simply causes protracted court cases that end up costing an absolute fortune. In the end it is only the lawyers that walk away richer. Contested cases are also open to public and that means that all the dirty washing of the divorcing couple is made public.

Divorcing has become easier but there are still many issues that need to be resolved before a marriage can finally be dissolved. There are assets, savings and investments to divide between the two partners. There are custody issues and in most cases also some agreement about maintenance payments. If the couple involved will not talk about these issues then their lawyers will negotiate on their behalf and finally the court will make a final decision.

Even couples that agreed to separate amicably therefore need some professional assistance. Most of them hire a lawyer to help them achieve a final separation agreement. This is much cheaper than hiring two lawyers fighting each other in court. The lawyer will help the couple to understand the process and the rules. He will guide them towards achieving a final agreement.

Many couples do not know that it is not compulsory to use a qualified lawyer to guide them through their divorce. Lawyers are expensive and couples that wants to save money can opt for the services of specially trained and licensed counsellors to help them. The counsellor will guide them towards an agreement and he will then present this agreement to the court.

Professionals like lawyers and counsellors charge for their time. The less time their clients use, the smaller the final bill will be. Prudent and reasonable couples can therefore save a lot of money by privately reaching agreement on as many issues as possible before even engaging the services of a lawyer or a counsellor. The role of the professional will then simply be to present the final agreement to the court for approval.

There are many advantages to amicable divorces. Firstly, the entire matter is handled privately and often the divorcing couple do not even have to appear in court. Contested divorces often grow ugly and this can have a profound long term effect upon the children involved. An amicable divorce causes much less trauma and the children will not carry the burden of feelings of guilt.

It is always sad when relationships fail. Nobody walks away from divorces utterly untouched. If there are no alternatives, however, at least an amicable divorce is a much better option than an ugly fight in open court.
