An uncontested divorce occurs when: (a) there are no disagreements between you and your spouse over any financial or divorce-related issues (i.e., child custody and support, division of marital property or spousal support); and (b) your spouse either agrees to the divorce, or fails to appear in the divorce action.
You may sue for divorce thinking that the proceeding will be uncontested, but discover later that your spouse has decided to contest (“fight”) the case. If this occurs, you may wish to consult an attorney, or you may proceed on your own without an attorney. In either situation, this packet should not be used. Many of the forms in the packet apply only to cases where your spouse either (1) consents to a divorce; or (2) where your spouse does not appear to oppose the divorce.
Even if you have no kids, no real estate, and no retirement accounts, the legal process requires that a couple draft the correct documents and that they follow the correct court procedures.
In addition, if vehicles were purchased during the marriage, we will make sure that title-transfer is done properly.
Let our office assist you by guiding you through this process at minimal cost. It’s worth knowing that your divorce is being done correctly and will be approved by the court.
