Uncontested Divorce Attorney in Phoenix

Taking an Amicable Approach to Divorce

An uncontested divorce is essentially a divorce that does not involve a drawn out courtroom battle. In Arizona, it may be accomplished in one of two primary ways: spouses mutually agree to file for divorce and decide that they would like to sort out the terms outside of the courtroom, or one spouse files for divorce and the other spouse chooses not to participate in the process. The first scenario is what most people commonly associate with an uncontested divorce and is typically the type of case that our firm would be involved in. In the second scenario, the divorce would proceed by default and a court hearing would be held. The court would then enter a divorce decree without the other spouse's participation.

There are several different ways to approach an uncontested divorce. If you and your spouse agree that you wish to divorce and want to avoid the expense, time and stress often involved with courtroom litigation, this may be the right route for you. If you are fully in agreement on all of the terms of your divorce, you may be able to fill out the appropriate forms with the Maricopa County Superior Court. If you cannot reach agreements on some issues, you can work with your lawyers to negotiate an agreement. If you need to take further action, divorce mediation may be the next step to take, where you will work with a neutral third party to reach mutually beneficial agreements regarding the contested issues.
