What is an Uncontested Divorce?

Divorces don’t need to be an extended courtroom affair. An uncontested divorce means you and your spouse agree on everything involving the divorce, including child support, child custody, alimony and marital property and debt division. Many times uncontested divorces can be quick and easy, allowing the parties to move on sooner than later. However, other times uncontested divorces can turn into contested divorces.

What is a Contested Divorce?

A contested divorce does not mean you actually contest the divorce itself, but rather the terms of the divorce. The process can be quite complex if you and your spouse do not agree on all the terms pertaining to the divorce such as the division of marital property, child custody, child support and spousal support.

Although we will do all we can to avoid a costly, time-consuming trial, we are prepared to litigate your case in court if necessary to protect you and your rights. In fact, most divorces actually settle before trial either through agreement or through mediation.

High Net Worth Divorce

Divorce in Georgia can be complicated enough, but divorces involving individuals with high net worth is ALWAYS more complicated with additional layers of legal complexity. High net worth usually involves assets valued at more than $1 million. Common issues that may arise include tax liability, valuation of businesses and property, income reporting, spousal support and child support.

Additionally, high net worth divorces typically involve experts such as forensic accountants, real estate appraisers and other tax professionals. The divorce attorneys at the Brodie Law Group understand there is a lot to lose in a high net worth divorce and the legal team will work to effectively protect your rights and your interests.
