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

By Carolyn Davis


There was a time when divorces were frowned upon and when divorced people were deemed to be socially unacceptable. Of course those days are long gone. Nowadays divorces are common. In fact, long term marriages have become the exception rather than the rule. Divorces nevertheless still cause agony and pain for most people. It is an emotional issue that is not easy to deal with. With a budget uncontested divorce GA couples can at least make sure that their separation is finalized as cheaply as possible.

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.

It is, in fact, not even necessary to hire a lawyer. Lawyers are expensive but there are also counsellors specially trained to help divorcing couples reach agreement on all the issues related to divorces. Counsellors do not charge half as much as an experienced lawyer but they are also experienced in helping divorcing couples to negotiate a fair and legal final agreement.

Paying just one lawyer or, even better, a counsellor is certainly much cheaper than contested divorces, but they are still paid for their time. To save even more money, it is therefore necessary to take up as little time as possible from these professionals. Prudent couples can achieve this by privately reaching agreement on just about all issues related to their separation. This will leave the lawyer or counsellor with nothing to do but to present the agreement to court.

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.
