Divorce differently, together.
What is an Uncontested Divorce?
Uncontested divorces are usually a relatively quick and straightforward process when both parties agree on all the terms of their divorce — and at times can bypass court all together.
-
Though divorces are never easy, an uncontested divorce can save you a considerable amount of time, money, and conflict — make it a simpler option when both parties agree on the terms of their divorce.
Contested divorces are what people traditionally think of when they hear divorce. A judge will decide on the terms of your divorce due to both spouses not being able to agree on major issues.
-
In most cases, an attorney is not required for an uncontested divorce. However, it’s often a good idea to consult with one to ensure there are no oversights, errors, or misunderstanding in your divorce settlement that you file.
-
The biggest difference is a divorce officially ends or dissolves a marriage so you can remarry.
Legal separation does not. After getting legally separated, you cannot remarry or be part of a domestic partnership.
-
Although the process can vary state to state, in most cases, you need to submit a settlement agreement to the court for approval to begin this process.
