Amicable & Uncontested Divorce

When Litigation Is Not the Best Option

When communication has become difficult or the parties disagree on how to divide marital property, the parties often are better served by having separate attorneys; however, in many instances, the parties have simply grown apart and do not wish to create hostilities, nor spend thousands on divorce attorneys. Furthermore, the parties may agree how to divide their marital property and how to address custody and visitation. For these cases, we offer amicable and uncontested divorce services. Although our firm may represent only one party in the legal sense, if the “client” provides us with permission to work with his or her spouse, we will work with both parties when drafting the Settlement Agreement and may suggest alternative ways to split the marital property when it benefits both parties.

An Uncontested divorce has tremendous upside – lower legal fees, a more relaxed atmosphere as the case proceeds, and the prospect that following the divorce the parties will be more inclined to be amicable toward one another. If children are involved, they may benefit the most when their parents divorce in a civil manner. The potential downside is that if the case becomes contested (one party decides not to sign the Settlement Agreement), we as a firm may need to withdraw from the engagement depending on what information the non-client has shared with us. We believe it would be unethical for our firm to take a position against someone if that person has shared information with us that now could be used against him or her; however, we will do our best to refer each of you to new attorneys.
