A Faster, Simpler, and More Affordable Way to End a Marriage
If you and your spouse agree on the major issues in your divorce, an uncontested divorce can help you move forward efficiently—without unnecessary conflict, delays, or expense. Our firm guides clients through the uncontested divorce process with clarity, precision, and respect, ensuring all legal requirements are met and your agreement is properly finalized.
What Is an Uncontested Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which both spouses reach agreement on all essential issues before going to court. These issues typically include:
- Division of marital property and debts
- Alimony or spousal support (if any)
- Child custody, visitation, and parenting plans (if applicable)
- Child support and related expenses
Because there are no disputed issues for the judge to resolve, uncontested divorces are generally faster, less stressful, and far more cost-effective than contested cases.
Is an Uncontested Divorce Right for You?
An uncontested divorce may be appropriate if:
- Both spouses agree the marriage should end
- You can communicate civilly and negotiate in good faith
- There is agreement on finances, property, and parenting arrangements
- Neither party intends to litigate or delay the process
Even when spouses agree, having an attorney involved is critical to ensure the agreement is legally enforceable and protects your rights.
Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce
Lower Cost
Uncontested divorces typically cost a fraction of a contested case because they avoid prolonged litigation.
Faster Resolution
Many uncontested divorces can be finalized in weeks rather than months or years.
Less Stress and Conflict
By avoiding courtroom battles, uncontested divorces allow both parties to move forward with dignity.
Greater Control
You and your spouse—not a judge—decide the terms of your divorce.

Common Questions About Uncontested Divorce
Do we still need to go to court?
In most cases, yes—but uncontested hearings are brief and often purely procedural.
Do we both need attorneys?
Not necessarily. One attorney may prepare the uncontested paperwork, though each spouse has the right to independent counsel.
What if children are involved?
Uncontested divorces can absolutely include children, provided custody and support are fully agreed upon and in the child’s best interests.
