The Differences

In a divorce there is a process that is followed at the beginning whether the case is contested or not. The petitioner will file a divorce petition with the court basically setting out what they want from the divorce and then they have to have that paperwork served or in other words delivered to their spouse. If the divorce is uncontested then a stipulation and settlement agreement can also be sent to the spouse and if signed that can be entered with additional paperwork to finalize the divorce. If the spouse does not agree then they must file an answer with the court and that is when the contested matter begins. A contested divorce is much longer and costly and basically involves the parties fighting over issues such as child custody, child support, division of property, and alimony.
