What Is A Contested Divorce?

  • You and your spouse are not in agreement on one or more issues of your divorce, and you end up in court asking a judge to make these decisions for you.
  • You need an attorney representing YOUR interests, YOUR rights, and fighting for what YOU may be entitled to.
  • A contested divorce usually takes longer to complete, typically involves greater stress for the parties, and is associated with increased legal fees.
  • There are various steps to be taken before a contested divorce is finalized, including but not limited to preparation, filing, and serving the divorce petition, responding to the petition, hiring an attorney, engaging in "discovery", pre-trial motions and hearings, settlement proposals and negotiations between the attorneys, preparation for trial if settlement is unsuccessful, and completing a court trial.  

What Is An Uncontested Divorce?

  • You and your spouse are in agreement on all of the issues concerning the divorce, including but not limited to the division of marital property and debts, child support, spousal support (alimony), and timesharing with the children.
  • An uncontested divorce is usually easier than a contested divorce because spouses can end their marriage without constant back and forth negotiations, court hearings, and legal strategizing.
  • Spouses in an uncontested divorce must be able to work together toward mutually agreeable resolutions.
  • Protects family relationships and establishes a better opportunity for continued parenting by both parties
  • Spouses must be willing to compromise to resolve their divorce issues.
  • Preserves dignity, self-respect, and the parties' relationship 
  • Parties have control over the outcome - not a judge or third party
  • Parties do not need to hire attorneys - they can get a divorce without lawyers
  • Enables parties to plan for and deal with their futures without blame and fault
  • Allows for "out of the box" thinking and creative solutions
  • This can be accomplished with the assistance of attorneys, a mediator, or together.
