Before diving into the details, grasp the concept of uncontested divorce<\/a>. This simplified process involves both parents agreeing on the terms, making it less stressful for everyone involved, especially the children who benefit from a more straightforward transition.\u00a0<\/p>

In order to get the benefits of an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse must agree on every issue of your divorce including child custody, parenting time and child support. If there is even one issue that’s not agreed to, you’ll have to file for a contested divorce.<\/p>

An uncontested divorce can save you time, money and stress.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the big differences between a contested and an uncontested divorce in Massachusetts is that in an uncontested divorce, all the issues are worked out prior to filing any paperwork. So you do the hard work up front, then file the papers together with your spouse.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
