Contested Divorce
A divorce is contested when either party does not agree to the divorce or to the terms of the divorce. In a contested divorce, parties engage in negotiations to reach settlements in such matters as property division, child custody and alimony. If the divorcing spouses cannot come to agreement, it is necessary to bring the matter before the court, where a judge will decide for them.
Uncontested Divorce
When divorcing couples are in agreement over the terms of a divorce, they can submit the appropriate documents to the court for approval. Even though an uncontested divorce is simpler than a contested divorce, it is still important that the legal steps be handled with care and attention to detail. A misstep could prove very costly in the future.
