Uncontested Divorce

The divorce process does not necessarily have to be expensive and complex. In fact, there are many cases wherein both parties come to an early settlement on all of the concerns. Our expert lawyers can competently assist in resolving uncontested divorce issues in an effective and inexpensive procedure.

Advantages of an Uncontested Divorce

Time, money, respect and control are the main advantages of having closures resolved in an uncontested manner. With respect to time, the uncontested cases are generally concluded in less than 25% of the duration for a contested divorce process. In parallel, since uncontested divorce is much shorter than the litigious contested cases, the legal fees are considerably much lower. With respect to control, the parties involved are foremost, in charge. It is by their agreements that the case results are determined. And since the dissolutions are resolved through mutual understanding, parties usually maintain better relationship with each other.

Marital Settlement Agreements

Think of a Marital Settlement Agreement as a contract between you and your spouse, which provides for the complete and final resolution of all issues. Upon advising you of applicable law involved, we draft the Agreement in a legal format, whereupon it is ultimately reviewed and signed by the judge, becoming a part of your judgment. Our attorneys make sure that your Agreement is properly constructed to reflect the agreement between you and your spouse and to protect your rights.

The Process of an Uncontested Divorce

Often times, during the divorce process our attorneys may meet with both you and your spouse (if they are not represented). We provide your spouse with needed paperwork and certainly can answer questions regarding procedural issues. We certainly encourage the parties to reach an agreement, which is mutually beneficial. However, it is always made clear through the entire legal process that we work for you and your interests alone.
