If it is uncontested, do I really need an attorney to file for divorce?
The first question that many couples sometimes ask themselves is can we get divorced without having the expense of hiring an attorney? The simple answer is yes you could file for divorce on your own and others have done it, however there are also those who thought about it but did not try to file on their own. One of the main documents that is attached to a Complaint for Divorce is what is termed as a Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement is the guiding document as to who gets what and who pays for what. The Settlement Agreement is a legal document that parties can use if things do not go according to plan. The Courts and their staff are not allowed to give any legal advice so when you create this document and if it is created without an attorney’s legal knowledge, you could be writing something into it that may not be enforceable or that could cause problems later in life. And, if there are minor children involved, the language of the agreement must adhere to state standards which you may or may not be aware. Therefore, hiring an attorney is the best way to make sure that any agreement that is prepared will be prepared properly and with all the language necessary so that what the parties intend is what the parties will get. If you are a couple with no children and know what you want to do with regard to splitting property and the debts, please give Georgia divorce attorney Bernd G.
