Questions About Divorce?

What is an “Uncontested Divorce”?

An uncontested divorce means that both spouses agree on all major terms of the divorce. This may include the grounds for divorce, property division, child custody, child support, and spousal support, if applicable. When there are no disputes to resolve, the process is generally more efficient and does not require court appearances.

The timeline depends on several factors, including how quickly documents are completed, signed, and accepted by the court. In uncontested cases, divorces can often be finalized within a few months, though court processing times may vary. Contested cases typically take longer due to negotiations or court involvement.

Yes. When retirement accounts are part of the marital assets, we assist with properly addressing their division as part of the divorce agreement. In certain cases, additional documents, such as Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs), may be required. We will explain what applies to your situation and guide you through the process.

In many cases, existing Family Court orders related to custody, visitation, or support can be incorporated into a divorce judgment. We review the existing order and determine whether it can be included as-is or whether modifications may be necessary.

Documents are typically shared electronically for review. You will be guided through the signing process and given clear instructions for completing any required signatures or notarization in accordance with New York court requirements.
