Scottsdale Uncontested Divorce Lawyers

What Is Uncontested Divorce?

If you and your spouse are able to reach an agreement about all of the issues in your divorce, that divorce is classified as “uncontested.” This is great news and deserves congratulations. An uncontested divorce is not only less expensive than a contested divorce (meaning one in which you and your spouse cannot agree on a divorce-related issue), but it also leaves both sides in better emotional health. 

The issues you must agree on to qualify for an uncontested divorce include but are not limited to:

• Child support
• Child custody
• Visitation
• Alimony, or spousal support
• Debt, asset, and property division
• Division of retirement

Do You Need a Lawyer for Uncontested Divorce?

No, having a lawyer is not a requirement. It is, however, recommended.

 Even when two people are in agreement about issues—such as marital property division, spousal maintenance, and custody—it’s important to have your divorce papers reviewed by an experienced uncontested divorce attorney. If you don't, you may be unpleasantly surprised down the road.

Here are some things that could go wrong if you draft your divorce papers yourself:

• Your documents may not have enough specificity. For example, you may ask your spouse to pay you $30,000 when he or she sells the house but neglect to put in a date when the house must be sold. Without a date, your spouse could go on living in the home and never send you a check.
• You may not get everything you are entitled to have under Arizona law. For example, you have a right to an equitable division of all community property. However, if you don’t ask for your share of your spouse’s retirement assets, you won’t get it. You only get what you ask for.

Protecting Your Interests in an Uncontested Divorce

As your Scottsdale lawyers, we will review your agreement and ensure that you receive everything you are entitled to receive under Arizona law. 

However, we will not create issues where none need to exist. Our goal is to help you reach an out-of-court settlement. Two people who know each other can almost always make better decisions than a judge who may only see you twice in your life.
