Get A Default Divorce Georgia

Even if you divorce is going to be an uncontested divorce, you want to ask an attorney to look over your paperwork and review your settlement agreement. If either spouse has retirement benefits through work, an attorney will be needed to prepare the court order to divide them. There is no formal trial in an uncontested divorce, and the spouses probably won’t have to ever appear in court. Instead, you file court forms and a “marital settlement agreement”. A “marital settlement agreement” is an agreement that details the agreements the spouses have made about how they want to divide their property and debts, what the custody arrangements for their children will be, and whether support payments will change hands. The settlement, and the final divorce, will have to be approved by a judge, which shouldn’t be any problem. The judge will usually approve a settlement agreement unless it’s clear that the terms are completely unfair to one person or were arranged when one person was under duress.

You may sometimes get a default divorce. The court will grant a divorce by “default” if you file for divorce and your spouse doesn’t respond to the petition despite proper service. In a default divorce, the divorce is granted even though your spouse doesn’t participate in the court proceedings at all.
