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.

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 when couples are resolved to dissolve their marriage amicably they still need some professional assistance. The many laws governing marriages can be complex and every party has certain rights. The final agreement must honour all these rights, especially those of the children, if there are any. Most couples get a lawyer to help them, and at least they only have to pay one professional.

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.

Lawyers and counsellors alike are paid for their time. It is therefore possible to save even more money by spending as little time as possible with the lawyer or counsellor. This can be achieved by reaching a private agreement on most of the matters that are involved. The counsellor or lawyer will then only have to make sure that the agreements are legal and fair.

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.
