One primary benefit of an uncontested divorce is the savings in divorce costs. Attorney representation is still advisable even in an uncontested divorce. However, our streamlined procedures includes lowered court costs, as well lowered attorney bills.
Uncontested divorce also allows many couples to get their divorce granted more quickly than in a contested divorce. With fewer proceedings and less legal wrangling, uncontested divorce allows couples to more quickly move on with their lives.
Though divorce of any sort often involves some conflict, proceeding with an uncontested divorce can lower the amount of conflict between the parting spouses by simply offering fewer opportunities for conflict to arise. With fewer demands for information going back and forth, and fewer proceedings to resolve disputed elements of the divorce, conflict between the soon-to-be exes can be minimized.
Unless filed under seal (which is not easy), information made part of a divorce proceeding becomes open to the public. This means that not only personal information one side alleges about the other, but also financial and other private information become matters of public record. In an uncontested divorce, there is simply less information filed with the court to go into the public record. This can allow spouses who agree to an uncontested divorce to minimize the amount of private information made public.
UNCONTESTED DIVORCES
Divorce doesn't have to be messy. Let us help you dissolve your divorce amicably.
A divorce is uncontested when:
It is ‘agreed’ – You and your spouse agree about all of the issues in your case.
or
It is ‘default’ – Your spouse does not file an answer with the Court after being officially served with your divorce paperwork.
