An uncontested divorce, also known as an "agreed divorce," occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues involved in ending their marriage. These issues include division of property, debt allocation, child custody, and support. This type of divorce is typically faster, less expensive, and less complex than a contested divorce, where the spouses cannot agree and require court intervention.
Cost-Effective: By agreeing on the terms of the divorce without going to court, couples can significantly reduce legal fees and associated costs.
Time-Efficient: Uncontested divorces can be finalized much quicker than contested cases, as they do not require a trial or multiple court hearings.
Privacy: Agreements can often be handled outside of the public courtroom, providing a level of privacy that is not available in contested divorce proceedings.
Reduced Conflict: By working together to resolve issues, couples can maintain a more amicable relationship post-divorce, which is especially beneficial if children are involved.

A contested divorce occurs when spouses are unable to agree on one or more key aspects of their divorce, such as asset division, child custody, support payments, or debt allocation. These disagreements often result in a more complicated legal process that can extend the duration and cost of the divorce proceedings.
Increased Complexity: Disagreements over financial arrangements, property division, and parental responsibilities make the divorce process more complex and often necessitate court intervention.
Higher Costs: Due to the need for detailed legal and financial analysis, negotiations, and possible trial, contested divorces are typically more costly than uncontested divorces.
Emotional Strain: The adversarial nature of a contested divorce can lead to significant emotional stress for all involved, particularly when children are involved.
Time-Consuming: The process can be lengthy, often taking months or even years to resolve, depending on the complexity of the issues and the court's schedule.
