The Procedure Of Filing For Divorce Uncontested Georgia

By Melissa Olson


There comes a time in life where some people look to settle down and start a family. They like to do it in extravagant ways such as grand weddings among other things. It is too bad that not even the best of weddings can make a marriage last if it was never meant to and if they were not meant for each other. That is why the rate of divorce nowadays is so high because they dont want to give each other time to know ones character. Below is how to file for 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.

The county you decide to file in is important. Most of the time you are required to file in the county of your spouses residence. This is only if you are both in the state of Georgia. If she, however, moves out of the state, you can proceed to file in your own county as it is not a necessity for her to be from the same county.

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.

It is possible that you had children in the existence of the damage. You need to come up with a way of how you both will get time with the children. After agreeing you are to sign and notarize the documents in the presence of a notary. You will sign blue as this is a sign of 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.
