An Uncontested Divorce is one in which there are no outstanding issues between the parties. All the issues which would cause contention are settled between you, and if they aren’t you and your spouse are able to resolve these issues without court intervention. These issues are those such as child support and visitation, spousal maintenance (aka alimony), equitable distribution, retirement benefits and health insurance . If this is the case, then you and your spouse are engaged in an Uncontested Divorce. It is important to note that Uncontested Divorce is a very narrow category of divorces and most couples will not fit neatly into this category.
