Difficulties of a Contested Divorce

Uncontested divorces can only occur when both spouses agree both on getting a divorce and on all of the terms regarding the divorce itself. As you may imagine, this is exceedingly rare so the majority of divorces become contested in some ways.

Contested divorces often have disagreements over the following provisions:

• Child custody
• Child support
• Property/debt division
• Spousal support

Sometimes negotiation or mediation can help both parties come to an agreement over one or all of the terms they didn’t see eye to eye on, thus ending the need for a court case. This is known as a settlement, which is usually one of the most beneficial solutions since it won’t be appealed.

It’s becoming more and more common for spouses to try to “do their own divorce,” but these can usually only occur when both parties are almost completely in agreement on the terms. It’s not advised you try to navigate your case on your own if you and your spouse are in disagreement over one or more major topics. Let an attorney represent you and protect your rights to make sure your rights are protected throughout the process.
