What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorces?
Contested divorce refers to a tumultuous divorce, one that is ridden with arguments and disagreements. Contested divorces are highly unfavorable, as they are not only much more stressful and frustrating, but they are also more time consuming and expensive. An uncontested divorce refers to a divorce in which the parties are able to put aside their differences to respectfully and cordially decide upon such aspects of a divorce as spousal support, property division, child custody, and child support. When both parties are able to discuss the terms of divorce in an agreeable manner, it is a much easier and pleasant process for everyone involved.
