Why Many Choose Uncontested Divorce

Many couples decide on an uncontested divorce because they want to lower conflict and avoid long court battles. In Georgia, an uncontested case generally means both spouses agree on all key issues, including how to handle property and debts, whether one spouse will receive support, and, if there are children, how parenting time and decision making will work.

This approach often appeals to people who value privacy and want to limit the emotional strain on children. It can be more efficient than a contested case, and it usually gives spouses more control over the outcome. Even so, uncontested does not mean informal or risk free. The court still issues a final order, and that order can be difficult and sometimes expensive to change later.

People often worry that using online forms or handling everything themselves could lead to missed issues or unclear language. Questions about retirement accounts, future moves, or tax consequences are easy to overlook. Our family law team works with you to identify these kinds of concerns so your agreement addresses what matters most now, and also anticipates how life may change.

How Our Firm Guides Your Case

When you contact our firm about an uncontested divorce, we start by listening. We want to understand how far along you and your spouse are in your discussions, what you already agree on, and where you may still have questions. Some clients come to us with a detailed plan, while others only know that they want to keep things cooperative and fair.

From there, we explain your options in plain language and outline a path that fits your situation. Our attorneys help you think through parenting time, communication between parents, child support, health insurance, and future decision making for your children. For clients without children, we focus on issues such as the home, vehicles, shared accounts, and any business or retirement interests that may need to be divided.

Mitchell & Crunk Law Firm is based in Barrow County, and we regularly assist families whose cases are filed in Walton County and other nearby counties. That regional focus means we are familiar with how uncontested divorce filings typically proceed in these courts and what judges generally expect to see in agreements. Our goal is to prepare thorough documents that reflect your decisions and are ready for review.

Clients often choose us because we combine compassionate guidance with careful preparation. We know that you are trying to move forward with as little disruption as possible, and we work to keep communication clear, reduce surprises, and help you make informed choices. At every stage, we focus on your best interests and your long term stability rather than pushing for unnecessary conflict.

Uncontested Divorce Process In Walton County

Understanding the basic steps of an uncontested divorce can make the process feel more manageable. While every case is unique, Georgia law sets out a general structure that applies when one or both spouses have the required residency and the case is filed in the Superior Court that has jurisdiction for Walton County residents.

The first step is usually an initial consultation with an attorney to confirm that an uncontested approach is appropriate. We discuss residency, any prior cases between you and your spouse, and whether you genuinely agree on all key issues. If it appears that you are on the right track, we then help you identify the information and documents that will be needed, such as income details, lists of assets and debts, and information about children.

Once you and your spouse have worked through the terms, we prepare the settlement agreement and related forms for filing with the court. After filing, the court generally needs time to review the paperwork and, in some cases, may require a brief hearing before issuing a final decree. Timeframes vary based on court workload and other factors, but uncontested cases often move more quickly than contested ones once everything is properly submitted.

Here is how the process often looks when we are assisting clients:

• Initial conversation to discuss your situation and confirm whether uncontested divorce is suitable.
• Gathering information about property, debts, income, and, if needed, children and parenting schedules.
• Working through the terms of your agreement and addressing questions that arise during those discussions.
• Preparing and reviewing the settlement agreement and required Georgia divorce forms for filing.
• Filing and monitoring the case until a final order is entered.

Throughout these steps, our attorneys keep you informed about what is happening and what comes next. We work to make sure you understand each document before you sign it, and we encourage clients to reach out with questions rather than staying unsure. This kind of clear process can be especially helpful if you live outside the county but need to file in Walton County because of residency or other requirements.

Protecting Children & Property

For parents, an uncontested divorce is often as much about the children as it is about ending the marriage. Georgia requires a parenting plan in cases involving minor children, and the details can have a major impact on your daily routines. Schedules for weekdays, weekends, holidays, and school breaks all need attention, along with how you will make decisions about education, health care, and activities.

We help clients build parenting plans that are specific enough to reduce confusion but still practical for their real lives. Our attorneys talk through your work hours, your children’s needs, transportation, and communication between parents. We also explain how child support is considered under Georgia guidelines and how factors like health insurance or child care expenses can be handled in an uncontested agreement.

Even when spouses agree to cooperate, property and debt division can be complex. Real estate, vehicles, personal property, credit card balances, student loans, and retirement accounts may all need to be addressed. It is common for people to focus on the most obvious assets and unintentionally overlook accounts or obligations that will affect their financial stability later.

Our firm works to identify and discuss these issues before you finalize your agreement. We look at the full picture of your financial situation and talk about how different arrangements might affect each of you in the future. Because we handle a wide range of family law matters, we are also prepared to assist if questions arise later about modifying orders related to custody or support.
