GEORGIA UNCONTESTED DIVORCE AND MARITAL AGREEMENT INFORMATION

(Click Here to return to Atlanta Divorce Attorney Main Page)

This form is an information form/questionnaire provided to you by the law firm of ROWEN & KLONOSKI, P.C. in order to obtain information necessary to prepare and file an uncontested divorce. It is not meant to provide legal advice to you. Nor is it intended to form an attorney/client relationship between our law firm and yourself. Rather, this form is provided to help potential clients understand the categories and range of information necessary to properly provide divorce attorney advice. In an uncontested divorce, the plaintiff and defendant must have reached an agreement regarding all issues of child custody, support, visitation, and equitable division of property and debt division. An attorney can only represent one of the parties, even in an uncontested divorce. The marital separation agreement will be incorporated into the final judicial divorce decree. Please note that a filing fee is required by the Superior Court to file for a divorce. If you have minor children, a seminar for divorcing parents is required by the Superior Court before a final decree may be issued. Attendance is required of both parties in the divorce, but you may attend separate seminars. A separate fee will be assessed for the seminar that you will pay directly to the County.
