Types of Divorce in Mulberry

There are two types of divorce in Georgia, a divorce can either be contested or uncontested. A contested divorce means that there are issues that the parties cannot agree on, such as division of assets, child custody, and support. In this case, the court will make decisions on these issues after both parties present their arguments.

An uncontested divorce occurs when both parties have reached an agreement on all aspects of the divorce without the need for court intervention. This is often seen as a less stressful and costly option, but it does require both parties to communicate effectively and come to a mutual agreement.

Our Mulberry divorce lawyers have experience handling both contested and uncontested divorces, and we are dedicated to finding the best solution for you and your family. We will work diligently to protect your rights and help facilitate a smooth resolution.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Divorce in Georgia?

In Georgia, the divorce process can be finalized in as little as 31 days, thanks to a mandatory 30-day waiting period after the initial filing. This waiting period makes Georgia one of the states with the shortest possible time frame for finalizing a divorce. However, the reality for most couples is that the process tends to take longer. On average, divorces may take anywhere from six months to a year to complete.

Several factors influence the duration of the divorce process. The complexity of the case and the level of conflict between the parties are significant determinants. For uncontested divorces, where both parties agree on all issues, the process is generally quicker and less complicated. On the other hand, contested divorces, which involve disputes over assets, child custody, and support, can extend the timeline considerably due to the need for negotiation or court intervention.

Our Mulberry divorce attorneys are dedicated to guiding you through every step of the process, striving to achieve a resolution as efficiently and amicably as possible. We understand that each case is unique and requires a tailored approach to meet your specific needs and objectives.

Our Mulberry divorce attorneys can also help you with the following matters:

• Child custody and visitation: If you and your spouse have children, you will need to create a parenting plan. This plan will include a time-sharing schedule that outlines when the children will spend time with each parent. It will also include a plan for how you and your spouse will make major decisions about the children, such as health care and education. If you and your spouse cannot agree on a parenting plan, you will need to go to trial. The judge will then decide the parenting plan.
• Child support: Both parents have a legal duty to support their children. In Mulberry, child support is calculated based on a formula. This formula takes into account the income of both parents, the cost of health insurance, the cost of child care, and other factors. If you and your spouse agree on child support, you can include this agreement in your marital settlement agreement. If you and your spouse do not agree on child support, the judge will decide this issue.
• Alimony: In Mulberry, there are several different types of alimony, including temporary alimony, bridge-the-gap alimony, rehabilitative alimony, durational alimony, and permanent alimony. The judge will decide whether to award alimony based on the financial resources of each spouse, the standard of living during the marriage, the duration of the marriage, and other factors. If you and your spouse agree on alimony, you can include this agreement in your marital settlement agreement. If you and your spouse do not agree on alimony, the judge will decide this issue.
• Property division: In Mulberry, the judge must divide your marital property in an equitable manner. This does not mean that the property will be divided equally. It means that the property will be divided fairly. If you and your spouse agree on how to divide your property, you can include this agreement in your marital settlement agreement. If you and your spouse do not agree on how to divide your property, the judge will decide this issue.
