one of the parties of the divorce doesnt agree with what is going on and is wanting something else to happen


I am sure you mean "Contested" divorce. A contested divorce can mean 2 different things.

1. Contested divorce can describe a divorce where one party is arguing the other doesn't have grounds for divorce and attempts to prevent the divorce; therefore, the divorce, itself, is being contested.

2. More commonly though, the term is used to describe the divorce process where both parties want the divorce but can't agree on issues like child custody, child and spousal support and equal distribution of the marital assets.
