Regardless of how your marriage ends, divorce is a traumatic experience for everyone involved.  But, some couples are able to find a way to make the process less damaging than others.  If limited conflict is what you are looking for, then you might want to consider an uncontested divorce.

It’s important to understand what is meant by an uncontested divorce.  It does not mean giving up all of one’s possessions in order to avoid a dispute.  It also does not mean refusing to participate in the divorce proceeding, resulting in your spouse winning everything by default.  It simply means cooperating with your spouse to reach a negotiated settlement.

An uncontested divorce can be a relatively simple legal procedure, if both parties agree about the division of their assets, income, and children.  Many couples who do not have a lot in terms of assets (or have agreed on the division of them) opt for this process.  Uncontested divorce proceedings tend to be cheaper, quicker, and easier than contested divorces.

Why Uncontested Divorce?

1.         Lower legal fees.  Uncontested divorces tend to be cheaper, quicker, and easier.  The exact amount depends on a number of factors, including whether children are involved.

2.         Less stress.  Uncontested divorces tend to be easier on the parties, allowing people to move on with their life quicker.  While we work on assembling the formal documents, you continue on with your life as normal.

3.         Fewer complications.  Uncontested divorces can often be completed with only one lawyer.  We prepare the documents for you.  You and your spouse simply sign what is required to formalize your agreement.
