Divorce · Uncontested
The simplest path out of a marriage
If you and your spouse agree on the terms, an uncontested divorce is faster, less expensive and far less stressful.
A straightforward option, handled properly
Divorce puts real emotional and financial strain on a family. When agreement is possible, an uncontested divorce spares you most of it.

What counts as uncontested
An uncontested divorce requires both parties to agree on every legal issue before signing the settlement, including:
- Property and debt division
- Spousal maintenance (alimony)
- Child custody and visitation
The advantages
-
Lower cost
Generally much cheaper than a contested divorce.
-
Faster
It concludes more quickly, which shortens the hardest stretch.
-
More amicable
It helps preserve a working relationship after the divorce.
-
More control
You and your spouse decide the terms, not a judge.
-
Private
The details stay out of contested court proceedings.
-
No trial
It removes the stress of preparing for and sitting through one.
Why each spouse still needs their own attorney
Even when you agree on everything, one lawyer cannot represent both of you.
Your attorney makes sure you are not signing away an asset or a right without realizing it, and that you understand every provision before it becomes a court order. That is what prevents disputes and regret a year from now.
