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.
