Uncontested divorce

Divorce without court, also known as uncontested divorce or collaborative divorce, is a process in which the parties work together to reach an agreement on the terms of their divorce outside of court. This process can be less time-consuming, less expensive, and less emotionally draining than a traditional court-based divorce. In an uncontested divorce, the parties work together to negotiate and agree on the terms of their divorce, including property division, spousal support, child custody, and child support. Once the parties have reached an agreement, they can submit it to the court for approval and incorporation into a final divorce decree. The collaborative divorce process involves each party retaining their own attorney and working together with the assistance of trained professionals, such as financial planners and mental health professionals, to reach an agreement on the terms of their divorce. The collaborative divorce process is generally less adversarial and more cooperative than a traditional court-based divorce. In both types of divorce without court, the parties generally have more control over the outcome of their divorce and can tailor the agreement to their unique circumstances. However, it's important to note that divorce without court may not be appropriate in cases where there is a history of abuse, domestic violence, or other power imbalances between the parties. If you are considering divorce without court, it's important to consult with an experienced divorce attorney in your area who can guide you through the process and help you understand your legal rights and obligations.
