Is an Uncontested Divorce Right for You?

If you and your spouse have grown apart and are looking to end your marriage amicably, an uncontested divorce could be the right path. This type of divorce occurs when both spouses agree on the terms, including property division, spousal support, and, if applicable, child custody.


Who Qualifies for an Uncontested Divorce?

  • Couples with children: If separated for one year and with a signed separation agreement.
  • Couples without children: If separated for at least six months.

Uncontested divorces are quicker, less stressful, and more affordable than contested ones, as there’s no need for a court battle. You and your spouse can agree on the terms and move forward without the added conflict.


Why Choose an Uncontested Divorce?

  • Lower Costs: No trial means fewer legal fees.
  • Faster Resolution: The process can be completed in months.
  • Less Stress: It's a cooperative way to end the marriage peacefully.
