If you and your spouse are ending your marriage, you both agree it is over, and you do not have children together, you are in the most straightforward position Georgia divorce law offers. No children means no parenting plan, no custody schedule, and no child support to work out. That removes the most complicated and most contested part of most divorces, and it makes an uncontested filing genuinely simple.
This post explains why a no-children uncontested divorce is the cleanest path, what you still need to agree on, and what it costs.
Why no children makes it simpler
In a Georgia divorce involving children, a large share of the work goes into the parenting plan and child support: who makes decisions, where the kids live, what the schedule is, and how support is calculated. Those are also the issues most likely to cause conflict.
When there are no children, all of that disappears. You are left with a much shorter list of things to settle, and none of it involves the emotional weight of custody. For couples who already agree the marriage is over, that often means the entire divorce comes down to dividing what you own and owe.
What you still need to agree on
A no-children divorce is simpler, but it is not automatic. To file as uncontested, you and your spouse still need to agree on:
- Division of property: how you split what you acquired during the marriage, from bank accounts to vehicles to household belongings.
- Division of debt: who is responsible for what you owe, including credit cards, loans, and any shared obligations.
- Spousal support, if any: whether either spouse will pay alimony, and if so, how much and for how long. In many shorter, dual-income marriages, neither spouse seeks support, which simplifies things further.
Georgia divides marital property by equitable division, which means a fair split, not automatically a 50/50 one. But when you agree, you are not asking a judge to decide what is fair. You are deciding it yourselves and writing it down. That is what keeps the case uncontested.
The profile this fits best
This path fits some couples especially well. If you have no children together, both of you work and are financially independent, and your marriage was relatively short, you are close to an ideal uncontested case. There is usually less property tangled together, less financial dependence between you, and a shorter list of things to divide. Many couples in this position find that once they sit down and agree, the actual divorce is far less complicated than they feared.
That is not a requirement. Plenty of longer marriages with no children are just as straightforward. But if you fit that profile, you are likely looking at the simplest, fastest version of the process.
How it works
For an uncontested divorce with no children, the process is: you and your spouse agree on the terms, we draft your settlement agreement and all required court documents, and we file. Because there is no parenting plan or child support worksheet, there are fewer documents and fewer moving parts than a case with children.
What it costs
