What is Uncontested Divorce?

In an uncontested divorce, both spouses are able to agree on all issues associated with the end of their marriage, including:

• Spousal Support / Alimony
• Property Division, including Closely Held Business Division
• Child Custody
• Child Support

Unlike contested divorce, it is often unnecessary for both sides to hire an attorney. Instead, the parties can agree to hire one lawyer who helps them prepare and file the necessary documentation with the Family Court.

The Benefits of Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested divorce has several significant advantages, including:

• Saving you and your former spouse from spending vast sums of money on attorney fees and court costs
• Dissolving your marriage in a timely manner, often only a few months
• Sparing you and your children from the anxiety and emotional strain of a prolonged divorce
• Preserving an amicable relationship with your former spouse
