What is an Uncontested Divorce? Is it right for you?

Uncontested divorces are divorces of agreement. In an uncontested divorce, the parties agree to resolve all issues (prior to filing) without the need for court intervention.

Here, the lawyer's role is limited to the preparation of pleadings, the divorce decree, and the closing documents. Typically, there is only one lawyer involved, and only one court appearance is necessary to finalize the divorce. Because of this, legal fees are substantially reduced.

To determine whether an uncontested divorce is right for you, consider the following:

• Marital Property Division
• Child Support
• Child Custody
• Debt Allocation

If you and your spouse can reach an agreement on the above, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to proceed with an uncontested divorce.
