Uncontested Divorce

We’ve long been conditioned by courtroom dramas, television series, and movies to think of divorce as a long, drawn-out process that grinds down the spirits of the soon-to-be ex-spouses. Fortunately, there’s a far more simplified alternative: the uncontested divorce. If you or someone you love is going through a divorce, contact the West Palm Beach divorce attorneys of Eric N.

What Is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce is one in which both parties are able to come to an agreement about the terms of divorce without a court intervening. That means no lengthy court battles, no enormous legal fees, and as little drama as possible. The spouses and their lawyers have to meet and draw up a document detailing the terms of the divorce: who gets custody of the children, who gets what property, and how much is paid in alimony and/or child support. The divorcing couple then presents this document to the court. If the court believes the terms are fair and equitable, the divorce will almost certainly be granted.

Contrary to popular belief, almost 95% of divorces in the United States are uncontested. However, because they aren’t as dramatic and unpleasant as the alternative, they don’t get much of the attention. While lawyers may not be strictly speaking necessary for an uncontested divorce, divorce attorneys can provide legal advice and can help you navigate the process.
