What Is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce is one in which neither spouse contests the terms, meaning that they are both in agreement and do not need to appear in court to argue for their respective sides. About 95% of the divorces in the United States are uncontested.

To get an uncontested divorce, you must meet with your spouse and your lawyers to establish and agree to the terms of your divorce: property division, child custody, spousal support and child support payments, and more. Your divorce will be finalized if the courts agree that the agreement is fair and equitable.

Uncontested divorces have a number of benefits over other types of divorce, namely that they are:

• Less expensive
• Less time-intensive
• Less vitriolic
• More likely for both parties to be satisfied by the results

With these benefits, it’s no surprise that 19 out of every 20 divorces today are uncontested.
