Uncontested Divorce
The best-case scenario for any divorce process is an uncontested divorce. If both parties can agree to terms with minimal mediation and both agree to separation the process will be far less painful. However there are factors that must be met if you choose to go this route.
- Both individuals must agree to a divorce.
- You must be separated for six months or more.
- If you have children a custody agreement must be reached.
- Division of debt is agreed upon.
- You do not share any retirement or pension plans.
- Real estate division is agreed upon.
- There will be no support or alimony payments.
If any of these guidelines cannot be met your divorce will be a contested one.
