What Is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on every major aspect of the separation:

Child custody and parenting time
Division of marital assets and debts
Alimony or spousal support
Health insurance and other post-divorce obligations

With no disputes to resolve in court, this process is typically faster, more affordable, and less stressful than a contested divorce.

How the Uncontested Divorce Process Works in Queens, NY

Agreement on Terms: Both parties must agree on all issues in writing.
Filing the Petition: One spouse files for divorce and submits the agreement.
Acknowledgment & Review: The other spouse confirms the agreement. The court then reviews and approves the settlement.
Final Judgment: If approved, the court will issue a final divorce judgment without the need for a trial.

Our Queens divorce attorneys are well-versed in local laws and court procedures, ensuring your case is handled with efficiency and care.
