Uncontested Divorce Legal Answers

What is the cost of a Georgia uncontested divorce?

I am trying to plan for the upcoming filing of my uncontested divorce. I need to know what the costs will be and whether I will need to pay a lawyer. I have found the cost of the initial filing fee online, but I am unsure what other costs may be involved. One of the requirements for the uncontested divorce seems to be the submission of a marital settlement agreement stating the terms that my ex and I have agreed upon. This is where I am very uncertain about costs. Is this something we can draft or something we need to pay a lawyer to do. If we must have a lawyer, what is the average cost for the legal fees for the settlement agreement? Are there any fees due at the time of the final divorce? Is it permissible for my ex and I to split the costs equally?

What are the residency requirements for an uncontested divorce?

My wife and I lived in Texas and separated there after four years of marriage. We both want a civil uncontested divorce. I moved to Detroit two months ago after we separated. She has asked me to proceed with finalizing the divorce between us. Am I able to file for an uncontested divorce here in Michigan, or does she need to be the one to do it in Texas? How long do I have to live here before I can file? I also need to know if there is a requirement that we be living separate for a certain period of time before either of us can file for the uncontested divorce.
