Contested & Uncontested Divorce

  • Want to get divorced and you and your spouse agree on all the issues?
  • Need a quick, smooth divorce?
Donald Darling

Have you and your spouse decided to get a divorce and you agree on all issues? This should be a simple case of filling out some forms and filing them with the court, right? Wrong! If you don't know your rights, it could cost you a lot of money. An uncontested divorce might seem simple, but it can be a very slippery slope if you don't get experienced legal advice. It's one thing to fill out "easy, self-help forms", but it's entirely something else to understand what you are filling out. If you're not careful and do it right, it can cost you a lot of time, headaches and money.

To file an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse must agree on everything. If you do not agree on everything, you will have to file for a contested divorce. Filing for an uncontested divorce can be relatively quick and easy, if it's done right! A couple benefits of filing for an uncontested divorce is that the court typically finalizes the divorce within 30-60 days, and it saves you and your spouse a lot of money in attorneys fees, as compared to filing for a contested divorce. Note that in Minnesota at least one of the parties will have to appear at court for a brief hearing if there is at least one minor child involved in the proceeding and one or both of the parties is not represented by an attorney.

Rest assured that if you and your spouse are not able to agree on all of the issues, we can still assist you with your divorce. With 15 years experience we have represented clients in all types of divorces; from no asset, no children divorces to highly complex multiple asset cases.
