The Basics

What Is a Contested Divorce?

Gold pen stroke on a white background

A contested divorce in Georgia occurs when spouses cannot agree on one or more key issues related to their separation. These disputes often involve the division of marital assets and debts, child custody and support, alimony, and other significant matters. When agreement is out of reach, the process moves through negotiation and court involvement until each issue is resolved.

What to Expect

How the Process Works in Georgia

A contested case typically involves multiple court hearings and rounds of negotiation, and it may require mediation or a trial if disputes remain unresolved. The court decides any contested issues based on Georgia law, aiming for a fair resolution for both parties. Understanding each stage in advance helps you make confident decisions and avoid unnecessary delays.
