What is Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce in New York refers to a type of dissolution of marriage where both spouses reach a mutual agreement on key aspects of the divorce without the need for court intervention or a trial. This amicable resolution typically revolves around vital issues such as property division, child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support (alimony), and division of debts.

What Are the Benefits of Uncontested Divorce?

In an uncontested divorce, both parties cooperate to draft a comprehensive settlement agreement outlining their decisions on these matters. This agreement serves as the blueprint for the divorce judgment, which is then submitted to the court for approval. Uncontested divorces are generally more streamlined, cost-effective, and less time-consuming compared to contested divorces, which require court hearings and a judge's decisions.

While an uncontested divorce can be less contentious, it's important to note that seeking legal counsel is still advisable to ensure that your rights and interests are adequately protected. Consulting with a knowledgeable Queens uncontested divorce attorney can help you understand your rights, negotiate favorable terms, and draft a well-structured settlement agreement that adheres to state laws.

Ultimately, an uncontested divorce offers couples a relatively smoother and less stressful way to dissolve their marriage. It reflects a collaborative approach, emphasizing cooperation and communication, which can be particularly beneficial if both parties are willing to work together to achieve an efficient and respectful separation.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in NY?

On average, an uncontested divorce in New York can take roughly 90 days to finalize. An uncontested divorce takes much less time than a contested divorce because the issues surrounding the case are usually agreed upon by both parties.

Factors that may increase the time an uncontested divorce takes to process could include:

• If one or both spouses suddenly show the inability to work together
• Hidden assets
