Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce

When both spouses agree on every aspect of their divorce, including custody and property division, the divorce is considered "uncontested." This leads to a lower-cost divorce since all issues are resolved before going to trial. No litigation means reduced costs, less time spent in court, and a quicker, smoother dissolution of the marriage. Our attorneys are proficient negotiators, capable of crafting solutions that offer a cost-effective result for our clients.

Although uncontested divorces are possible, they are relatively rare. Most spouses have to assert their rights to marital property and child custody through litigation. Contested divorces are more common, where spouses argue for their share of property and parental responsibilities in court. In these cases, having an experienced litigator by your side is crucial to ensuring your voice is heard throughout the divorce process.

At Divorce Authority, our lawyers excel at both creating agreements and protecting your rights in court. Whether your divorce is uncontested or contested, we have the skills and resources to safeguard your future.
