2. The first question that usually comes to mind when you recognize
that divorce is going to be inevitable is:
What are my options?
There are indeed a number of ways you can handle your divorce
in Georgia, and many may not depend on you so much as your
spouse and how the two of you are getting along.
A contested divorce is, of course, one option. This is the most
traditional way of getting divorced, and usually involves family
law attorneys representing both husband and wife. The case may
go to court, but more often than not is usually settled out of
court.
Mediation is another method for divorce. This also usually
involves an attorney on both sides helping to negotiate
settlements on behalf of clients. However, this is often a less
contentious process than going to court. Importantly, anything
decided at mediation must still pass the scrutiny of a judge,
especially if children are involved.
A collaborative divorce is another form of alternative dispute
resolution that is becoming more and more popular. Again, this
usually involves attorneys, and our divorce lawyers are involved
in many collaborative divorces, however this method also
requires a commitment from both husband and wife to working
things out amicably.
If things do not work out, the attorneys usually step down and
different divorce lawyers are called in to handle the contested
divorce case.

3. And then of course there are uncontested divorces, which are
usually the simplest and cheapest way to go about getting a
divorce, but require both husband and wife to agree to every
single term of the divorce.
Without a doubt, any consultant will tell you a divorce can be a
stressful situation, but knowing your options will help. We wish
you the best of luck during this trying time, and please feel free
to call one of our family law attorneys if you have questions or
need representation during your divorce process.
