Common Concerns During an Uncontested Divorce
While an uncontested divorce can be a simpler and more cost-effective way to end a marriage, there are still concerns and potential issues that people may be worried about, such as:
Property Division: Even in an uncontested divorce, spouses may have disagreements about the division of property and assets, especially if the assets are complex or valuable.
Child Custody and Support: If the spouses have children, they may worry about agreeing on custody and visitation schedules, as well as child support payments.
Spousal Support: If one spouse is entitled to spousal support, there may be concerns about the amount and duration of the support payments.
Legal Requirements: Even in an uncontested divorce, there are legal requirements that must be met, such as filing the correct paperwork and meeting the waiting period, which can cause confusion and delay.
Future Disputes: While spouses may agree on all terms of the divorce at the time of filing, there may be concerns about future disputes that could arise over the agreed-upon terms.
It is important for spouses to communicate openly and honestly about their concerns and work with an experienced attorney to ensure that their rights and interests are protected throughout the divorce process.
