DIVORCE

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is one in which the parties resolve all their differences without a trial. Uncontested divorces often reduce the bitterness and hurt that may exist between the parties and benefit everyone, especially minor children. Courts will, of course, hear any contested case and settle all disputed issues in a divorce; but, each party should carefully consider whether a compromise is possible, as this course of action may be in the best interests of both parties and any minor children involved.  Many of the required documents and provisions of a settlement agreement are quite complex.  Too often, parties using the "do-it-yourself" route find themselves frustrated, or the binding agreements they entered into come back to bite them later.  One should contact a knowledgeable family law attorney even when the divorce appears to be uncontested.  The Law Offices of Larry H. Tatum, P.C. will help ensure that you are not being taken advantage of in an uncontested divorce, or stepping into one of the many pitfalls awaiting litigants.
