Q: Do we have to send in a final decree for the state of Georgia if the divorce is uncontested
Final decree
A:
I'm not sure I understand the question. However, you will certainly need a Final Decree of Divorce to finalize the case. You cannot just agree that you are divorced. A Final Decree or Final Order signed by the Judge is required to become legally divorced in Georgia.

A: I agree with my colleague, you will still need to send in the paperwork for the judge to sign making it legal. That goes for whether or not it’s contested or not.
