Uncontested Divorce
Most divorces are never contested. From the onset, whether or not each party agrees with getting a divorce, they would rather decide how to resolve all the issues in their divorce instead of going to court. This is especially important when children are involved. The quicker and more amicable the process, the better it is on you, your spouse and more importantly, the children. Essentially, this process allows everyone to begin the healing process sooner, adjust to the new living arrangement(s) and hopefully co-parent successfully.
If you and your spouse are contemplating divorce and can agree on all issues particular to your divorce, to include, child custody, visitation, guideline child support, division of marital property and debts, and alimony, then you may be dealing with an uncontested divorce. In order for your divorce to be truly uncontested, you and your spouse must sign the marital settlement agreement. Therefore, if you are not sure if, after everything is prepared, that your spouse will actually follow through with signing and completing all required documentation, then I would caution you with proceeding in this manner. Even though the low cost is appealing, you could end up throwing your money away if the other party does not sign the paperwork.
My office handles uncontested divorces. We will only represent one party even though we are just completing the paperwork. We prepare all required paperwork for both you and your spouse, file everything and take you to the final hearing. It is that easy.
