UNCONTESTED DIVORCE IS THE WAY MOST PEOPLE DIVORCE. IT’S SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE, AND IT OFFERS YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE THE CHANCE TO END YOUR MARRIAGE QUIETLY AND WITH DIGNITY. THE MOST APPARENT ADVANTAGE OF UNCONTESTED DIVORCE, OF COURSE, IS ITS COST. THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT ANY MONEY YOU CAN AVOID SPENDING, YOU CAN USE TO LIVE ON AFTER DIVORCE OR SPEND ON YOUR KIDS. IF THE LEVEL OF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU IS LOW NOW, UNCONTESTED DIVORCE OFFERS A WAY TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
IT’S ALSO PRIVATE. UNCONTESTED DIVORCE CAN HAPPEN FASTER THAN MOST PEOPLE REALIZE. FROM THE DATE OF THE COURT HEARING, THE DIVORCE WILL USUALLY BE EFFECTIVE WITHIN SIX WEEKS AFTER THE DOCUMENTS ARE FILED WITH THE COURT.
