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 an unfortunate fact that divorces are so often typified by spite, bitterness and conflict. These types of divorces are almost always contested because neither partner is willing to be reasonable and to actively try to achieve an amicable separation. These divorces are hideously expensive and the court proceedings are open for public scrutiny. In most cases both partners will end up much poorer.

It has certainly become easier to obtain divorces but there are still many laws that govern the dissolving of a marriage. The future of their children must be considered and their joint estate needs to be divided. In some cases it may be necessary to sell assets such as the family home and it is not always easy to liquidate joint investments and savings. In cases that are contested decisions on all these matters are made by the court.

Even when couples are resolved to dissolve their marriage amicably they still need some professional assistance. The many laws governing marriages can be complex and every party has certain rights. The final agreement must honour all these rights, especially those of the children, if there are any. Most couples get a lawyer to help them, and at least they only have to pay one professional.

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.

Paying just one lawyer or, even better, a counsellor is certainly much cheaper than contested divorces, but they are still paid for their time. To save even more money, it is therefore necessary to take up as little time as possible from these professionals. Prudent couples can achieve this by privately reaching agreement on just about all issues related to their separation. This will leave the lawyer or counsellor with nothing to do but to present the agreement to court.

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 sad that so many marriages simply do not last. There are many reasons for this, including the increasing pressure of modern living, the ease with which divorces can be obtained and a major decline in the moral fibre of society as a whole. If a marriage cannot be saved, the least the divorcing couple could do is to avoid a protracted and expensive process.
