Contested vs. Uncontested?
What’s The Difference?
Contested vs. Uncontested
Contested Divorce
A contested divorce arises when spouses cannot agree on one or more key issues, necessitating court intervention to resolve disputes. This process involves formal discovery, hearings, and potentially a trial, leading to a longer duration—often several months to over a year—and increased legal expenses. Contested divorces can be emotionally taxing, as they involve more conflict and uncertainty.
Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues, including property division, child custody, support, and alimony. This mutual agreement allows for a smoother and more expedited process, often finalized in as little as 31 days after filing, depending on the court's schedule. Uncontested divorces are generally less expensive due to reduced legal fees and court costs, and they minimize emotional stress by avoiding prolonged litigation.
