I appreciate your team's sensitivity during this difficult time and responsiveness to my sometimes emotional calls. I am grateful for the team's help in coming up with a settlement agreement and modifying it according to my husband's counterproposal. And I am very happy that we could conclude all of this without going to mediation.

Client reviews
What clients say
My only regret is that I didn't hire Regina at the beginning of my divorce process.
Ms. Edwards would drop whatever she was doing to take my calls, as she knew I had limited opportunity to use the phone in a war zone. She negotiated a fair settlement and got me visitation with my children.

When you both agree
How an uncontested divorce runs in Georgia
The settlement agreement
You and your spouse agree in writing on the house, the retirement accounts, the debts and alimony.
Filing
The petition and the signed agreement are filed in the Gwinnett County Superior Court, and your spouse acknowledges service.
The final order
Once the 30-day waiting period after service has passed, the judge can sign the final order.
The first conversation
What the first conversation looks like
You tell Regina what is happening: the marriage, the home, the retirement accounts, any papers you were served with. She listens, then asks for what she needs.
She explains how Georgia law treats your situation in plain words: the division of property, the retirement accounts and alimony. She names the weak points of your case too.
You leave knowing your next step, and the fee is agreed before any work starts.
The agreement
What it has to cover
The home
Who keeps the house, whether it is refinanced or sold, and how the equity is shared.
Retirement accounts
401(k)s and pensions are divided with their own court order, which the plan has to accept.
Alimony
Whether one spouse pays alimony, how much and for how long, or a clear waiver.
Debts
The mortgage, car loans and credit cards, and who pays which.
Before you sign
An agreement is hard to undo once the judge signs it.
Regina goes through it with you before anything is filed.

Questions
Common questions about uncontested divorce in Georgia
How long does an uncontested divorce take in Georgia?
The judge can grant it once the 30-day waiting period after service has passed, if the agreement is signed and the paperwork is complete. Court schedules can add time.
Do we both need a lawyer?
A lawyer can represent only one spouse. Regina represents you, and your spouse can have the agreement reviewed by a lawyer of their own.
What if we agree on the big points, but not on everything?
Then the divorce is not uncontested yet. Mediation often settles the open points, and the agreement is filed once it is complete.
How does the first consultation work?
You call (770) 854-0777 or send the form, and we set a time for the consultation. It stays confidential, even if you do not hire the firm. You describe what is happening, Regina explains how Georgia law applies, and the fee is agreed before any work starts.
