Let’s face it: no one gets married expecting to end up in divorce court. But if you’ve reached the point where both of you agree it’s time to part ways, you don’t have to go to war to make it official.
That’s where uncontested divorce comes in—and for many couples in Georgia, it’s not just the easier way out. It’s the smart way forward.
Here are the TOP 10 REASONS more people are choosing uncontested divorce—and why you might want to do the same.
1. It’s Faster
If both parties agree, your divorce can be finalized as quickly as 30 days after filing. That means you can stop dragging your feet and start moving on with your life.
2. It’s More Affordable
No endless back-and-forth. No long court battles. No paying two attorneys to argue over furniture.
Flat-fee options are available—$1500 without kids, $2500 with kids—so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
3. You Stay in Control
An uncontested divorce puts the power in your hands—not a judge’s. You and your spouse decide how to divide property, handle debt, and structure parenting time.
4. Less Stress and Drama
No one wants their personal life on display in a courtroom. With uncontested divorce, there’s no public fight, no emotional rollercoaster, and no drawn-out arguments.
5. You May Never Have to Step into Court
In most cases, uncontested divorce clients never have to appear before a judge. You come into our office twice (or notarize remotely), and we take care of the rest.
6. It Protects Your Children
Keeping things civil helps kids adjust. An amicable agreement reduces the emotional strain and allows parents to focus on co-parenting—not conflict.
7. It Reduces the Risk of Future Legal Issues
When you work with an attorney, we make sure all the details are covered—so you don’t end up paying on a car loan that your ex stopped handling, or dealing with an asset transfer that never legally happened.
8. It Can Be Customized to Fit Your Life
Even in an uncontested divorce, you can include clauses about refinancing, asset sales, child support adjustments, and more—as long as it’s done right.
9. It Encourages Closure, Not Conflict
The tone you set during divorce often carries into your future, especially if you have children. An uncontested divorce is a way to say, “We’re moving on—maturely, respectfully.”
10. It’s a Sign of Strength, Not Weakness
Some people think “settling” means giving in. That’s not true. It means you’re smart enough to handle this like an adult—and protect your peace, your money, and your future.
“A settlement is not giving up or giving in. It’s creating peace with the future in mind.”

Why Go It Alone When You Can Get It Done Right?
Here’s the truth: while an uncontested divorce is simple in theory, it still requires precision. Georgia counties each have their own requirements, and one mistake can lead to delays, rejections—or worse, long-term legal exposure.
