Life’s unexpected turns can lead us down paths we never imagined, and sometimes, that path leads to divorce.

The 2 Types of Divorce
Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested divorce happens when both parties agree on most or all of the issues. This is the smoother path as both people are willing to compromise, and it can be resolved within a few months with the right lawyer. However, if you and your spouse don’t agree on major issues, uncontested divorce is not an option.
Contested Divorce
Contested divorce is different. In this type, there are issues that can’t be resolved between the couple such as child support, custody, property division, and more. These kinds of divorces take longer to resolve because neither side is willing to cooperate, and they usually end up costing more money. It’s rare for contested divorce to resolve outside of court.
