Two Basic Types of Divorce: Uncontested and Contested
There are a wide range of divorce options. Sometimes the parties work out their differences and only need an attorney to ensure that the paperwork is filed correctly. At times the differences cannot be worked out and litigation may be the best course of action. Though each may have variations, there are essentially two basic types of divorces:
- Uncontested Divorce: These are cases in which the two parties are able to reach a resolution through divorce mediation or other means outside of the courtroom.
- Contested Divorce: These are cases in which the two parties simply cannot see eye to eye and the decision needs to be placed in the hands of the judge.
What starts out an uncontested divorce may evolve into a contested divorce and vice-versa. There is a time and a place for each of these types of divorce. However, we believe that — due to the expense involved — the time for a contested divorce is only if it is absolutely necessary. We want to help you keep your divorce cost-effective.
