Advantages of an Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce offers several potential benefits, including:
- Affordability: Legal costs are often significantly lower when the divorce is settled amicably.
- Expedited Processing: Because there is no need for litigation, a divorce that is not contested can often be completed much faster.
- Privacy: Litigated divorces become part of the public record. Issues in an uncontested divorce are negotiated privately and remain private after the process is finalized.
- Control: A litigated divorce puts the final settlement in the hands of the court. If there is already agreement between the spouses on the major issues, they retain control over the settlement and it is drafted outside of court.
If you are on relatively good terms with your spouse and already have a good idea of what the final settlement will look like, an uncontested divorce is probably a good option. There are times, however, when spouses are on good terms but they do not fully agree on key issues such as child support, alimony/maintenance, child custody and visitation. In such cases, you may still be able to avoid costly and protracted litigation by choosing mediation, collaborative divorce or another form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
