Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce
Types of Divorces in Riverside
A divorce may be contested or uncontested, depending on whether the spouses are able to agree upon the terms of their divorce outside of the courtroom, or if it is necessary to go to trial to reach a resolution. An uncontested divorce is typically much faster and less expensive than a contested divorce, but going to court may be your only option if you are dealing with a particularly complex or combative situation. Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, you will need to resolve many of the same issues, including:
- How your marital assets will be divided
- If spousal maintenance will be paid and by whom
- The amount of support that will be paid
- Which parent will be the primary custodian of any minor children
- The amount of financial support for minor children
- Scheduling of non-custodial parent visits
