When Opting For A Budget Uncontested Divorce GA Couples Can Save A Lot

By Carolyn Davis


Those years when divorcing caused social ostracising are long gone. In these modern times divorcing is common place and there are even dedicated courts dealing with nothing but the dissolving of marriages. Single parent families have become the norm. This does not mean, however, that divorcing is not painful and fraught with many conflicting emotions. Nevertheless, by opting for a budget uncontested divorce GA couples can save a lot of money.

In many cases divorces are accompanies by feelings of betrayal, disappointment and a host of other negative emotions. This often lead one or both partners to become angry or even vengeful. The result is divorces where neither partner is willing to be reasonable and in many cases they will not even communicate with each other. These types of divorces are normally contested. This is a very expensive route requiring at least two lawyers and expensive time in court.

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 the most reasonable couples will need some professional help in reaching a final agreement on just how the marriage will be dissolved. Marriages are governed by many laws and any agreement must adhere to all of these laws. The rights of every party involved, especially the rights of the children, must be honoured at all times. Most divorcing couples hire a lawyer to help them in this regard.

Many divorcing couples do not realize that they can save even more money by foregoing the services of a lawyer altogether. There is no rule that requires them to use attorneys to finalize divorces. They may use qualified and experienced counsellors to help them draw up a final agreement. These counsellors are much cheaper than lawyers and they are licensed to deal with this type of case.

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.

Apart from the money that will be saved, uncontested divorces offer many other important benefits. Divorces can be extremely traumatic, especially for children and especially if the entire case is fought out in open court. If both partners are reasonable, the children will not suffer as much. Then there is the very important advantage of the process not being open to public scrutiny.

Divorcing always involve an entire legion of mixed feelings of guilt and regret. If the marriage cannot be saved, the next best thing is to at least separate on friendly terms and to be reasonable during the process. If nothing else, a reasonable approach will save a lot of money.
