Divorce Atlanta Handles Many Different Types of Divorce Proceedings

Atlanta divorce attorney Steven R. Jacob understands the ins and outs of each kind of divorce.



    ATLANTA, GA, May 12, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There are several kinds of divorce, each with their own implications and processes. Here are the most common, according to the divorce attorneys at Divorce Atlanta:

No-Fault Divorce

No-fault divorces are allowed in the state of Georgia. This kind of divorce is granted even without any wrongdoing throughout the marriage. The reasons for filing for divorce can be as basic as incompatibility with your partner, irreconcilable differences or simply the desire to end the marriage -- there is no need for any further explanation.

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses mutually agree to end their marriage. They can come up with an agreement on how to divide assets, child support, custody and any other issues. Uncontested divorces are very simple and quick. These divorces do cause people to sometimes give up rights they were unaware they had.

Simplified Divorce

These are uncontested no-fault divorces where there is no conflict that exists between the spouses. These divorces typically occur between couples who have not been married for very long, have no children and very few, if any, marital assets to squabble over.

Limited Divorce

Limited divorce is akin to legal separation. If someone wants to reinforce the legal duties and obligations of the marriage they may reach an agreement which is called a legal separation or file a cause of action in Superior Court for separate maintenance. All the issues of a divorce are addressed such as financial support, child custody and property division. However, at the end of the process the parties are still married.

"The type of divorce chosen really depends on the couple. Some couples can deal with each other in a cordial and amicable manner while others can hardly sit across the table from one another without hurling insults back and forth. It's great to know your own personality. That way, you can at least have an idea of what avenue is most ideal for your situation, so we know where to begin," says Steven R. Jacob, founding attorney at The Law Office of Steven R. Jacob.

Whichever method of divorce or legal separation you decide to undergo, an Atlanta divorce attorney can help you get everything you want and deserve from your divorce.
