Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs About Uncontested Divorce
What characterizes an uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce takes place when both partners agree to end the marriage and have already settled important matters such as child custody, support, and division of assets.
Is it necessary for us to be married for a minimum of two years?
Typically, yes. The marriage usually needs to have been in effect for a minimum of two years before a mutual petition can be submitted.
Can each of us appoint our own lawyer?
Yes. Some couples prefer to appoint their own lawyers so each spouse can get independent advice before signing the joint petition and related documents.
Can I talk to a lawyer on my own before I speak to my spouse?
Yes. It is extremely normal for someone to meet a lawyer on their own first, to learn their rights and possible future actions, before approaching the idea of divorce with their spouse.
What documents are required to proceed with an uncontested divorce?
You will normally need your marriage certificate, copies of your identity cards, your children’s birth certificates and basic information on your assets, housing loan, other loans and financial commitments.
Do we both need to meet the lawyer together?
It is helpful if both of you attend at least one meeting together, so the lawyer can hear the agreed terms from each of you and reduce the chances of any misunderstanding later.
Can spousal and child support be included in the joint petition?
Certainly. Every form of support for a partner and the children should be clearly specified in the joint petition, allowing the court to examine the circumstances and decide whether to approve them.
