Uncontested Divorce
A divorce where the spouses agree on the main terms needed to finalise the matter.
Definition
An uncontested divorce is usually simpler than a contested divorce, but the agreement still needs to deal properly with property, maintenance, pension, children, and settlement wording where those issues exist. A weak agreement can create practical problems after the decree of divorce is granted.
