If you have been married for a long period of time like 10 years or more then it is in your best interest to consult an attorney as they can advise you on what is best for your case.

Uncontested divorce means that you and the husband agree to everything and there is no issues. It means both of you will sign the document without any issues
So uncontested means normally you and husband agree on a lawyer, go see them together, have the paper work done, and both sign.
If he will not even communicate, sounds like it may be contested or at least he not sign paper work.

I got divorced with no lawyers. I copied someone else's petition. That was before the internet, so get one now for GA off the net.
The judge asked me if I was OK with the settlement we had agreed on, my ex buying out a share of our house. It all took about one minute, an assembly line of couples filing past the judge without sitting down.
If you have more than a simple splitting of assets, then get a lawyer.
If your husband can't TALK (your wording is confusing), he needs a legal representative.

By all means consult with a lawyer since you CANNOT communicate with HIM! Doesn't sound like this will be as UNCONTESTED a divorce a you thought.

You need legal advice for many reasons.
Finding out how to go about protecting yourself, for example, assets, bank accounts, pensions, etc. is very important. Your husband likely knows, as most people do, that he can contest a divorce until the cows come home, but he cannot stop you from divorcing him.
Please seek legal help. Start with even a consultation as to what your rights are, and what you can expect.
