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.

If a husband obtains a US divorce from a civil marriage in the US without mentioning the religious marriage in India and the couple still live together is the divorce valid?

US laws take precedence, therefore if the couple were legally married in the US and legally divorced in the US, then the divorce is valid. If the couple lived together as a couple (engaging in a sexual relationship, sharing mutual finances, etc.) at the time the divorce was pending then the divorce is not valid.
