Re: Quit Claim Deed questions

I like the protection afforded by GA domestic law over transactions incident to divorce.
Backing up a minute, it makes no sene to divide property before a divorce because the form you have doesn't seem to cover your situation. For a decent, free divorce packet, look at the Fulton County Superior Court Family Law Division, or Cobb County Law Library forms. You will want all the transactions -- bank accounts, credit cards, vehicles, taxes, real property -- in the settlement agreement. In an uncontested divorce the property is divided by agreement of the parties. The court only looks to make sure the formalities of the divorce are complied with -- the right documents signed and notarized, the 31 day waiting period, the agreeement to "try" within 30 days, acknowledment of service, etc. The court will accept the agreement you reached, including the distribution of property, payment of debts, what you plan to do with house, etc. without entering into the merits. So why not put it in the settlement agreement? That way, if there are any didsputes you go to the family law judge in 30 days or less instead of waiting 3 years for a civil action forbreach of contract to be heard.
CO = Court Order. In a divorce, the settlement agrreement is incorporated into the final judgment and decree of divorce and becomes itself a CO.
The Civil Action number is assigned to your case when you file it in the clerk's office.
