How Do You Get an Uncontested Divorce?
Are you looking to get an uncontested divorce and need the support of a qualified uncontested divorce lawyer? Here are the steps to take:
- As the person filing the divorce case (also known as the petitioner), you start by deciding how you want to terminate your marriage.
- Determine your priorities—is it winning or maintaining your resources as best as you can without a fight.
- You then fill out all the necessary forms, filing them with the courthouse, and paying the necessary fees.
- Your spouse will have 30 days to then file a response and pay the necessary filing fees.
- The next step is the preliminary declaration of disclosure, in which each party exchanges financial documents and decides how to divide their assets and debt.
- Once both parties reach an agreement, the court will approve and sign a judgment that allows them to become legally separate.
