Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is one where the parties agree to the settlement in advance. The pleadings are still required but the marital settlement agreement is agreed to without court intervention. An uncontested divorce is the quickest and least expensive divorce you can obtain. The Petition for Dissolution still needs to be filed by the party filing for divorce but the other party can waive the right to answer by neither admitting nor denying the allegations. Service of process can also be waived if the Respondent agrees to accept service and you can then save the costs incurred for serving the papers. Full disclosure is still required by both parties including a financial affidavit filed with the court and an exchange of 3 years of tax returns, and 3 months of statements representing the assets and liabilities owned by the parties, and proof of the disclosure is also filed with the court. After the filing of the initial pleadings and full disclosure, if the parties agree to and sign the marital settlement agreement and the petitioner can proceed to court on a final hearing before a Judge. If the wife has taken the husband’s name she can have her maiden name restored in the Judgment of Divorce. Proof of residency is required at the final hearing of the Petitioner, who is the only party that has to attend the final hearing. This type of divorce is typical when you have a short term marriage with no assets, no debts and no children.
