Divorce is a difficult situation for the parties involved. Aside from hurt feelings
and the destruction of a relationship, the painful issues of asset division and
custody battles can also arise.
The terms “divorce” and “separation” are often incorrectly used interchangeably.
A separation is when marriage partners sever their relationship with the intent
of ending the marriage. Separation does not have much legal effect in and of
itself. Conversely, in a divorce, the court actually orders the termination of the
marriage, thus permitting individuals to legally remarry.
Contested Divorce
A contested divorce is one in which the husband and wife cannot come to an
agreement on one or several issues related to the termination of their marriage.
Where the partners cannot come to an agreement, even with the aid of their
respective counsels, the couple must then take their issue(s) to a court to be
decided.
Contested divorces are a common scenario, given that there are numerous
issues to be worked out between a couple that has decided to break their
union. Some of these issues are sensitive subjects such as: custody of children
and child support, division of assets and property, allocation of debts, and
alimony.
Uncontested Divorce
A divorce is uncontested when the partners seeking to terminate their marriage
agree on each and every item and issue related to the ending of their marriage.
This does not necessarily mean that the divorce is amicable, but merely that all
disputes between husband and wife were resolved outside of the courtroom.

2. An uncontested divorce is usually the preferred situation for the parties
involved. The process is more time efficient and much less costly than
litigation.
