In order to file an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse must agree on everything. If you do not, then you will have to file for a contested divorce. The process in an uncontested divorce is relatively quick and easy. Each party completes a financial statement and submits a joint petition for divorce, listing the terms of their agreement. The decree and petition are then filed and the divorce will soon be finalized, usually in less than a month. The only court interaction may be answering a few questions asked of you by the judge to make sure that both parties understand the terms on which they are agreeing.

Many people think that they can take care of an uncontested divorce on their own, but they do not know what they are getting themselves into. Making a mistake during an uncontested divorce can cost both of you money down the road. An attorney can catch and recognize circumstances and help protect cases from becoming costly.
