An Overview of Uncontested Divorce

While many divorce cases are considered "contested" due to the parties being unable to agree on terms, a large number of divorces are uncontested, meaning that the two spouses have reached a mutual agreement to separate, and have come to a consensus regarding the terms of that agreement. Uncontested divorces are usually much simpler and less unpleasant than those that are contested, as there is no need for long, drawn-out legal proceedings or exorbitant court costs.

  • An uncontested divorce will usually consist of the following:
  • Meeting with an attorney and going over the specifics of the separation in order to isolate the pertinent issues to be discussed.
  • The presence of children, or substantial marital assets or property, may result in an uncontested divorce becoming contested, but it is entirely possible that these issues can be resolved amicably by working with an attorney towards a constructive solution.
  • Preparation and filing of a divorce agreement that breaks down exactly how the marital assets and property will be divided.
  • A hearing in a divorce court (with an attorney and a witness present) in order to finalize the separation.
