Why someone may choose to not contest their divorce

On behalf of The Law Offices of Dorie A. Rogers, APC posted in Divorce on Friday, November 6, 2015.

Deciding to end a marriage is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes couples who have been together for years may not believe that there is any way of resolving the issues they are having, so they decide that divorce is the best option for them. Whether they come to this decision quickly or it takes them some time, when they finally decide to move forward with the divorce process, depending on how each spouse feels, the divorce will be contested or uncontested.

Oftentimes, when a couple agrees to get divorced and it is considered uncontested, they do not have any divorce legal matters to discuss because they have already worked through the issues and agreed on things. Since there is very little to be discussed after the couple decides to divorce, the process may go faster than it would if the divorce was contested by one of the spouses. The divorce process not taking as long as it would if the couple had legal matters to discuss and resolve is one of the main reasons couples decide to have an uncontested divorce.

Although spouses may opt to not contest their divorce because of the benefits it may have, that does not necessarily make it their best option. In some situations, spouses are in a rush to agree on something that is not in their best interest for the sake of saving time with the divorce process. A long, drawn out divorce process can be exhausting for people to have to deal with, but when divorcing, it is often best to only agree to an arrangement that is fair, no matter how long it takes them and their spouse to figure things out.

Anyone who is considering divorcing their spouse should also consider seeking the assistance of an attorney. An uncontested divorce may not be ideal for everyone, but if you and your spouse are comfortable with divorcing and do not feel as though there are any divorce legal matters to be discussed, then there is nothing wrong with moving forward with the divorce. An attorney can assist you with the filing process and any legal matters that are to follow.
