What is an “uncontested” divorce?

 

An "uncontested divorce" is a divorce action in which you and your spouse agree on all aspects of the case, including who is to get what property, who is to pay what debt, whether or not there will be spousal support, how child custody, parenting time and child support will be arranged, the payment of attorneys' fees and costs and that both of parties want the divorce to occur.

If you and your spouse have not agreed on all these matters, the divorce is not “uncontested” although all issues may be resolved soon after the case is filed or before a final hearing is held. If your spouse disputes any of these matters, you do not have an "uncontested divorce" and a trial will be necessary.
