What clients usually ask
What makes a divorce uncontested?
The spouses must be able to proceed without a defended dispute over the relief sought. The documents still depend on the family and financial facts.
Can you review papers already received?
Yes. Send the summons or settlement proposal promptly so response dates can be checked.
The usual first steps
- Map the marriage, children, financial and property issues.
- Choose the agreed or opposed route.
- Prepare or review the documents and settlement terms.
What to bring
Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
