Uncontested divorces

 If you and your spouse are seeking a divorce and believe you agree to the terms of that divorce, you may want to consider an “uncontested divorce”. An uncontested divorce is a quicker, cheaper, and a less emotionally taxing option than a traditional divorce. 

Generally, uncontested divorce takes less time because the parties have already discussed and agreed to the terms of the divorce. Less time means lower legal costs. 

A traditional divorce can take months, even years, and cost thousands of dollars. The process often includes multiple court hearings, evaluations, a process called discovery, and can become very time consuming and overwhelming.

The biggest advantage is cost. Uncontested divorces are generally much less expensive than contested divorces. When the parties are in agreement the attorney’s fees necessary to complete the divorce can be kept lower than when the parties’ resort to court. Often the only other fess are court fees and copies.
