An uncontested divorce means the parties have reached agreement on all issues regarding the dissolution of their marriage including ongoing support, parenting, timesharing, property division and any other family issues.  

Uncontested divorces are rare.  In such cases our experienced attorneys are able to provide limited legal services regarding the drafting of the agreements for filing with the court.
