What is an uncontested divorce? An uncontested divorce is a divorce where there are no issues that need to be litigated. Essentially, it is an agreement on everything.
How is an uncontested divorce handled in the court?
If you and your spouse truly have an agreement on all issues, then you may be able to complete your divorce without ever stepping foot in a courtroom. You would still need to file your divorce petition and either have your spouse waive service of summons or you would need t oserve your spouse with a summons on the divorce. After 60 days have passed then you can file a waiver of final hearing with the court and a divorce settlement agreement.
To be certain, that is a quick summary of an uncontested divorce, but it gives you an idea of how the process works. If you have children or property, you may have other things that you need to deal with, such as child support worksheets, coparenting classes, quit claim deeds, etc.
How much money can an uncontested divorce save me?
Quite a bit! If you truly have an agreement on your divorce, my law office can help you complete your divorce for as little as $399. This is not me simply creating your divorce forms, but actually representing you filing all of initial divorce documents, meeting with you and your spouse to make sure that you truly have an agreement, and then filing your divorce agreement with the Court, thereby saving your time and money.
