Contested versus Uncontested Divorce

divorce_uncontestedAn uncontested divorce is one where the parties agree on everything: who the kids are going to spend most of their time with; how much child support is going to be paid; what is going to be done with the marital home; who will pay what debts; and so on.  If all these serious issues are not clearly nailed down, you do not have an uncontested divorce.  Leaving even one issue unresolved can create emotional problems, the sorts of problems that can cause an easy case to suddenly ignite.  You and your spouse must arrive at an agreement that resolves all your issues and is perfectly clear as to all your rights.
