Divorce Court Agreement Process

Summary

In Georgia, a signed settlement agreement is not required before a divorce court hearing. The judge will address unresolved issues during the hearing. If both parties agree on no debts, property, or kids, the process should be straightforward. However, being prepared with relevant documents and evidence is crucial. If you have agreed on all terms but havent signed an agreement, the court will still proceed with the hearing.
