Uncontested divorce in Georgia with an Alpharetta lawyer guiding the details

A smoother way through divorce

An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on every major issue, including property division, support, and a parenting plan if there are children. When that agreement is real, the process can move quickly and with far less strain.



MEINCKE | HOUSTON FAMILY LAW helps clients in Alpharetta and nearby communities like Milton, Johns Creek, and Cumming finalize uncontested divorces efficiently, without cutting corners. We draft and review agreements so they reflect your intentions and meet Georgia requirements.

What we handle for you

Even when spouses agree, the paperwork is formal and the stakes are still high. We prepare the settlement agreement, parenting plan, financial disclosures, and all court filings, then walk you through what to expect in Fulton or Forsyth Superior Court.


When a couple is close to agreement but needs structure to finish, our family law mediation services can help close the gap privately and respectfully.

When uncontested stops being simple

Sometimes one unresolved issue turns an uncontested divorce into a contested one. If agreement breaks down, we can shift to full representation without losing momentum. The broader context is covered on our divorce attorney page.

Quick answers for common concerns

  • Can one lawyer handle an uncontested divorce for both spouses?

    One lawyer can draft documents, but ethically represents only one party. The other spouse may choose not to hire counsel, but should review independently.

  • How fast can this be finished?

    Once filed, Georgia has a 31-day waiting period. Many uncontested cases conclude soon after if paperwork is complete and the court’s schedule allows.

  • What if we agree on everything but custody details?

    Custody must be fully resolved for the case to be uncontested. We can negotiate terms or recommend mediation to reach a complete parenting plan.

  • Talk with a lawyer who will stay with you
