Uncontested Divorces
An uncontested divorce is one in which the spouses agree on the division of property, debts, spousal support, and child custody and support if applicable. In an uncontested divorce, while the parties can choose to prepare and submit their own paperwork, one spouse can also retain an attorney to represent him and the other spouse can cooperate as a self-represented party. One attorney cannot legally represent both parties. If the parties cannot agree on any issues, they can opt to attend mediation to resolve their conflicts, or in some states, they must attend court-ordered mediation.
