Types of Divorce

Uncontested (Mutual) Divorce

In these cases, both parties agree to the divorce. Any of our knowledgable lawyers would be a valuable asset during an uncontested divorce case, considering there will be contracts covering child custody, alimony, other financial factors, and more that must be agreed upon. It is important to note that in uncontested divorces of couples with children, a Public Prosecutor controls the agreement. They check that everything is legal and in the best interest of the children involved. As long as there are no issues during the divorce process, uncontested divorces can usually be resolved within a few weeks. 

Contested (Contentious) Divorce

On the other hand, there are cases in which only one spouse wants a divorce. These cases are typically longer and more difficult to resolve. If the two parties cannot agree on terms, lawyers must communicate and negotiate and could potentially need to use third party evidence in the process. The time span of these cases can range from a few months to more than a year.
