What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce?

When you and your spouse agree on all of the outstanding issues from your separation, you will have an uncontested divorce. Essentially, this means that both of you have agreed on everything – parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support, and how to divide your property, assets, debts, and pensions.

If your divorce is uncontested, you will probably never have to appear in court. A court staff member and a judge will handle your divorce ‘behind the scenes’.

If you are divorcing, this means that you do not agree on some or all of the issues that resulted from the separation. The divorce process begins when one spouse files a Petition for Divorce and the other spouse files an Answer. Answer shows that the other spouse disagrees with something requested in the divorce. The spouse who files the divorce petition is called the petitioner. It is the other spouse who responds.
