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.

Divorcing has become easier but there are still many issues that need to be resolved before a marriage can finally be dissolved. There are assets, savings and investments to divide between the two partners. There are custody issues and in most cases also some agreement about maintenance payments. If the couple involved will not talk about these issues then their lawyers will negotiate on their behalf and finally the court will make a final decision.

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.

Uncontested divorces offer numerous benefits. If both partners are reasonable and if they do not allow any negative emotions to colour their dealings with each other, everybody benefits. This is especially true if there are children involved. In bitter, contested divorces children often suffer tremendous trauma which is often carried into adulthood. A lot of money can be saved and the entire matter escapes any form of 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.
