GEORGIA UNCONTESTED DIVORCE ATTORNEY — COLUMBUS, GA
When Both Spouses Agree, We Can Help You Move Forward Quickly
Not every divorce has to be a battle. When both spouses can agree on the key issues — division of property, child custody, child support, and alimony — an uncontested divorce offers a faster, less expensive, and less stressful path to resolution. If you and your spouse are on the same page, the Law Offices of Brian A. Ramey can help you move through the process efficiently and get on with your life.
But here is something worth knowing before you choose an attorney for your uncontested divorce — what happens if things change?
Divorces that start out uncontested sometimes become contested. Agreements fall apart. New disputes arise. Hidden assets surface. What seemed like an amicable separation can quickly become something more complicated. If that happens and your attorney only handles uncontested divorces, you will find yourself starting over — hiring someone new, paying a new retainer, and losing valuable time.
Attorney Brian Ramey handles both uncontested and contested divorce in Georgia. If your uncontested divorce becomes complicated, you will not need to find a new attorney. Brian will be there from start to finish, whatever the case requires.
What Is an Uncontested Divorce in Georgia?
A divorce is uncontested when both spouses agree on all of the following:
· Division of marital property and debts
· Child custody and parenting plan
· Child support
· Alimony or spousal support, if applicable
· Visitation rights
If you and your spouse can reach agreement on all of these issues, you may qualify for an uncontested divorce in Georgia. This process is generally faster, less expensive, and far less stressful than a contested divorce.
How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Georgia?
In Georgia, there is a mandatory 30-day waiting period after the other spouse is served before a divorce can be finalized. In practice, an uncontested divorce in Muscogee County can often be completed within 60 to 90 days depending on court scheduling and the complexity of the paperwork involved. Having an experienced local attorney handle your paperwork correctly from the start helps avoid unnecessary delays.
What About Children?
If you and your spouse have minor children, Georgia requires both parents to complete an approved parenting education seminar before the divorce can be finalized. Attorney Ramey will walk you through this requirement and everything else you need to do to keep your case moving forward smoothly.
Starting Simple, Staying Protected
An uncontested divorce may feel straightforward, but the agreements you reach today will govern your life, your finances, and your children's futures for years to come. Having an experienced family law attorney review and prepare your paperwork ensures that your agreement is legally sound, fully enforceable, and truly in your best interest.
