When Uncontested Divorces Become Contested Divorces
Often couples that have parted amicably mistakenly believe an uncontested divorce will work in their situation. Uncontested divorces require total agreement on all of the components of a divorce. There is no room for negotiation, mediation or litigation. If there is disagreement on any issue, the divorce becomes contested.
Dissolving a marriage is a complicated task, particularly if a marriage has lasted for many years. Numerous questions must be answered in a divorce settlement including:
- How will property be divided?
- How will retirement accounts be handled?
- How will investments be shared?
- Who will have custody of the children?
- Who will pay child support?
- How will visitation work out?
- How will dependency exemptions be affected?
- Who will pay for college expenses?
- How will insurance issues be handled?
These are just some of the topics that must be addressed in a divorce. While both parties may have an amicable relationship, it can be challenging to work out so many details without the help of a knowledgeable attorney.
