An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree to getting a divorce. If one party doesn't agree, this would then become a contested divorce. You may need a lawyer to handle a contested divorce. If you are able to agree, you can do a divorce without a lawyer depending on your state laws.

How do you get a divorce with a letter from your spouse stating he wants the divorce but he won't show up for court?
The great part about an uncontested divorce (both parties agree) is that you can proceed with a divorce without a lawyer. You are able to represent yourself in court and save time and not to mention money. Your spouse won't need to show in court when using this company. If you file for the divorce, you will be the one finalizing it. Your spouse is served, he/she signs and you attend court to finalize the divorce.
How an Uncontested Divorce Lawyer Works?
An uncontested divorce is the most common way that people get divorced. Relatively speaking, it is less costly, simple, and more dignified than other forms of divorce. If you and your spouse are fairly agreeable with one another, an uncontested divorce is the best way to keep things that way during the process. Disclosures that you make with one another can be kept private. A divorcing couple does not have to agree on everything for an uncontested divorce to be the best option. It is simply the best option for people who want to get through a divorce quickly, without with minimal cost to both parties, and with the least amount of drama. An uncontested divorce lawyer is not always a good idea. If there is domestic violence involved, it is not possible to reach a fair resolution in this manner. If you and your spouse are unable to speak with one another, it is also the wrong choice. In cases where one or both of you is both ignorant of the law and selfish, an uncontested divorce lawyer will not be helpful. If they are just selfish, or just ignorant, the issue can almost always be resolved, but if they are both, than separated attorneys will be necessary. In an uncontested divorce, there is only one lawyer. Even so, it is not legal for an attorney to represent both parties. They will have to know from the onset which individual they are legally representing. Once this is done, they will work with the client to reach an agreement, which the client can then take home to their spouse to explain. The client may return with changes that need to be made. Once both of the spouses have agreed, the documents can then be signed. Court is typically unnecessary. An uncontested divorce lawyer may be willing to meet with both spouses at the same time. Even so, it is necessary for it to be entirely clear which spouse the lawyer is representing. The lawyer can not give any advice to the spouse who is not. An uncontested divorce can take place much more rapidly than most people realize, sometimes within a single day. The cost of an uncontested divorce can vary quite dramatically. Some will charge over a thousand dollars, while others will charge less than a hundred. The less expensive the attorney, the less time you can expect to spend with them. If your case requires special attention because of children or other concerns, it is likely the costs will be higher.

When A Couple Agrees To Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is the easiest divorce that could occur for a couple. The divorce means that both parties involved in the divorce proceedings agree to the divorce and the terms involved. The couple usually decides to get a divorce and go to see a lawyer on their own if the divorce is uncontested. The divorce is usually cheaper when it is uncontested because there is minimal paperwork to be filed and there is usually less work involved with the attorney and judge that sees the divorce proceedings. The first thing that a couple would need to do when they decide to divorce is to sit down together and discuss what items they are sharing and who is keeping what in the home. If the home is shared between the two people, then they would need to make an agreement as to who gets the home and the contents in the home. If there are children between the couple, they can talk about who would get the children on each day of the week. The attorney they see can help them decide the best route to go on dividing everything between the couple. If the couple has nothing to share between them, they can go ahead with the divorce proceedings. A document will be typed by the attorney. One spouse would sign the copy and then it is sent to the other spouse for them to approve. In an uncontested divorce, the other spouse would not object to the document and the contents in it. The couple would sign the document and send it back to the attorney. The attorney would file the document with the court in the county the couple lives in. the divorce is good for the entire state that the couple resides in. The couple can get married after the divorce is filed if they choose to do so. The couple should keep all of the paperwork involved in the proceeding so they will know exactly when the divorce was filed and what is included in the divorce agreement. A divorce usually takes about 30 days to process and become finalized.
Is there any kind of suit for adultry in cailf?
if one spouse files suit for divorce against the other, she may be in for a long wait. While state law permits a no-fault divorce, couples who agree to part ways must remain separated for at least 1 year before filing for divorce on "no fault" grounds. After 2 years apart, either spouse can get a divorce for any reason. But filing on certain grounds allows the petitioning spouse to have her case heard expeditiously--and one of these grounds is if she claims that her husband is engaged in an adulterous relationship (the other is on grounds of cruelty).
