There Are a Few Vital Differences Between Contested and Uncontested Divorce Proceedings.

In a contested divorce, both parties are unable to agree on terms such as the division of assets, child custody, child support, and more. Therefore, they must go through the entire divorce process, which includes going to trial, to make a final decision. An uncontested divorce is where both parties are able to come to an agreement on every term of the divorce.

Why Do You Need a Family Lawyer for Uncontested?

So if the two parties are in agreement, why get a family lawyer for an uncontested divorce? A divorce is a difficult experience for anyone, regardless of if it was contested or uncontested. By hiring a family lawyer, the terms, concerns, and needs of both parties can be addressed. In an uncontested divorce, one of the spouses produces a document with the terms they’d want their spouse to agree upon. A family lawyer will be able to assist in the creation of this document, and presentation of the document to their spouse.
