Contested Vs. Uncontested Divorce

When you get divorced, there are two main ways that your divorce will pan out. On one hand, your divorce could be uncontested, which means you and your ex agree on issues that include:

• Asset division
• Debt division
• Business valuation
• High net worth assets
• Alimony
• Custody
• Child support
• Modifications
• And more!

If you and your ex agree on all of the issues pertaining to divorce, or can work to agree on them through mediation or negotiation through attorneys, you will have a simpler time with your divorce. You may not even have to go to court, since there is nothing to fight over that has not already been resolved outside of court.

However, if there is even one issue on which the two of you cannot reach an agreement, your divorce is contested and, if you cannot resolve your differences, you will need to go to court and present your case to a judge. This type of divorce is typically more expensive, time-consuming, and even more invasive than uncontested divorce. That being said, if there is something you feel is worth fighting for in court, contested divorce can be worth it.

If you are pursuing contested divorce, our Newnan divorce lawyers can create strategies and arguments that have the best chance of earning results in your favor.

Our Newnan Divorce Lawyers Can Help

Since Georgia is a no-fault divorce state, you do not have to prove any wrongdoing within your marriage to get a divorce. Rather, you can cite irreconcilable differences between you and your spouse.

However, if there is some wrongdoing that led to the breakdown of your marriage, the divorce lawyers of Lunn Law can help you make these allegations in court so you can pursue the settlement you deserve. In the state of Georgia, there are thirteen valid grounds for divorce, the thirteenth of which (citing that the marriage is irretrievably broken) does not place blame.

However, if you have blame that needs to be placed, we can help you present these to the court to pursue the settlement you deserve. For example, if you are divorcing due to abuse or adultery, you can ask the court for full custody of your children. If your spouse has wasted your joint finances, you can ask for a greater portion of the assets to make up for it.

Depending on the specific circumstances of your marriage and divorce, we can help you make the choices that are best for you and your needs.
