Uncontested Divorce Lawyers/Attorneys
Many people believe that because they have come to a verbal agreement with their spouse their divorce is uncontested. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. For a divorce to be uncontested all issues ancillary to your divorce, including the grounds for your divorce, distribution of your assets, custody, child support, maintenance and fees must be resolved. For these issues to be resolved you must enter into a written agreement, commonly referred to as a separation agreement.
If you do not have a signed agreement but have assets and/or children the first step is to negotiate the terms of a separation agreement. This can still be done amicably and in a cost-effective manner without the need of involving the Court, provided you and your spouse remain cooperative and reasonable.
Once you have a signed agreement or if you have no assets, no children and support is not an issue, then you are able to proceed with an uncontested divorce. When you file an uncontested divorce you do not need to appear in Court. Rather, there is a set of required papers that need to be completed and submitted to the Court. Upon receipt, the Judge will review the papers and will usually grants the divorce within 60 days, as long as everything is order.
While on its surface, an uncontested divorce may seem simple to handle on your own, it is important to remember this process is still a serious legal issue. If a mistake is made it can draw out the entire process or it can be personally and financially costly. For this reason, it is in your best interest to work with a lawyer.
