What is an Uncontested Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is a legal process where both spouses agree on all aspects of their separation, including property division, child custody, and financial matters. This type of divorce is typically faster, less expensive, and less stressful than a contested divorce, as it avoids prolonged court battles. In uncontested divorces, there are absolutely no disagreements for a judge to resolve, which makes the process faster, less expensive, and often less emotionally stressful.
To qualify, spouses must:
Agree to end the marriage
Resolve all issues without the court’s intervention
Meet any residency and documentation requirements in their state
