what is a uncontested divorce

An uncontested divorce is a type of divorce where both parties agree on all the terms of the divorce, including property division, debt division, child custody, and child support. It is a simpler and less contentious process than a contested divorce, which is where the spouses do not agree on what they want to happen. In an uncontested divorce, both parties must agree on the reason for the divorce, and in Texas, you have the option to seek a ‘no fault’ divorce. This means that neither partner needs to prove that their spouse did anything wrong to get a divorce. Uncontested divorces are generally quicker, less expensive, and less stressful than contested divorces. However, they may not be suitable for everyone, especially if there is a history of domestic violence or if there are complex issues to resolve, such as high net-worth individuals or substantial assets.
