Uncontested Divorce

Divorce Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

Divorce can be a challenging experience, but not all divorces have to be long, drawn-out, and costly. If both parties are in agreement on the terms of their separation, an Uncontested Divorce, also known as an Amicable Divorce, Unopposed Divorce, Divorce by Consent, Divorce by Mutual Consent, or Settled Divorce, offers a fast and cost-effective way to finalize the process.

At Vermeulen Attorneys, we specialize in helping couples navigate their Uncontested Divorce efficiently and professionally. Our transparent, all-inclusive fee structure ensures that clients know exactly what to expect, with no hidden costs. Our attorneys handle every aspect of the process, from drafting a comprehensive settlement agreement to finalizing the divorce in court, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.

What is an Uncontested Divorce?

An Uncontested Divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all terms, including:

• The division of assets and debts
• Spousal maintenance
• Parental responsibilities and rights (if minor children are involved)
• Child maintenance and contact arrangements

Because there are no disputes to litigate, an Unopposed Divorce is significantly faster and more affordable than a contested divorce. In many cases, an Uncontested Divorce can be finalized in just a few months.

Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce

Opting for a Divorce by Mutual Consent has several advantages, including:

• Cost-Effective: Legal fees are significantly lower than a contested divorce.
• Quick Resolution: The process is streamlined, avoiding lengthy court battles.
• Less Stress & Conflict: A cooperative approach reduces emotional strain.
• Privacy & Confidentiality: Sensitive details remain private, without prolonged litigation.
• Control Over the Outcome: Spouses negotiate the terms rather than leaving decisions to the court.
