What Is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues regarding the dissolution of their marriage. This includes the division of property and debts, child custody, child support, and alimony (spousal support). Because there are no disputes for a judge to resolve, couples can use standardized online divorce papers to file the paperwork themselves, saving significantly on attorney fees.

When NOT to Use DIY Forms

Online divorce forms are excellent for amicable separations. However, you should hire a divorce attorney if:

  • You and your spouse disagree deeply on child custody or support.
  • There is significant wealth, business assets, or complex real estate to divide.
  • There is a history of domestic violence or hidden assets.
  • Your spouse has already hired an attorney.

Forms Included in a Divorce Packet

Every state has uniquely named forms (e.g., California uses a 'Petition for Dissolution', Texas uses an 'Original Petition for Divorce'). A complete packet generally includes:

The Initial Petition/Complaint (Starts the divorce process with the court)
Summons (Officially notifies the spouse that the case has been filed)
Marital Settlement Agreement (The contract detailing the division of assets, debts, and spousal support)
Financial Disclosures (Affidavits detailing each spouse's income and expenses)
Child Custody & Support Guidelines (If minor children are involved)
Final Decree/Judgment (The form the judge signs to officially end the marriage)
