FAQ
Formal service is not required in an uncontested divorce in Georgia. The non-filing spouse signs an Acknowledgment of Service and Consent to Jurisdiction in front of a Notary Public, which is then filed with the Court as proof that he or she was served with the divorce papers. Review and sign the documents.
The judge will review the petitioners request and then the other person's response. He will ask questions to each side. He will ask why your ex doesn't agree with your asks and visa versa. He will explain what is the law for community property and ask each you to explain your side and then tell you what the law says.
If your divorce case is uncontested, you may not need to have an initial hearing. Your lawyers may be able to negotiate temporary orders and submit them to the court. If specific elements (i.e., child custody) are hotly contested there may be a need for a hearing before a judge.
Contempt of Court Failure to appear in family court could result in anything from additional monetary fines to mandatory jail time.
If you have filed divorce case, your presence is required when it is time for your evidence in the court. If you chose to not go, the case will be dismissed in default. Your lawyer may represent you most of times but not always. In a civil case you need not go to court on each and every hearing.
It is possible to get a divorce without going to court, especially in cases where both parties mutually agree to the divorce and its terms. This process is often referred to as an ``uncontested divorce'' or ``amicable divorce.'' Here are the key steps and considerations:
Answer: To initiate a divorce in Georgia, you cannot do it by simply mailing the other party divorce papers. The other party to a divorce must be properly served with the papers in ance with Georgia state law. The county you live in will determine how service must be made.
If your spouse does not file an answer or other response by the filing deadline, they are considered in default. Your attorney files a motion or default judgment, and the court schedules a hearing. At the hearing, your attorney presents evidence proving your spouse received the divorce papers but failed to respond.
In general, if you are a party to a family law case, such as divorce, custody, child support, alimony or modification case, you will need to complete a Domestic Relations Financial Affidavit (sometimes referred to as a “DRFA” or “Financial Affidavit”).
