Types of divorce we handle
Uncontested Divorce
When you both agree — and just need it done right.
If you and your spouse are on the same page, an uncontested divorce can be faster, less expensive, and far less stressful. But “agreed” doesn’t mean you don’t need an attorney. The details still matter — and a missed step can haunt you later.
- Both spouses agree on major terms
- No ongoing disputes about children or money
- You want to avoid court and move quickly
- You want everything filed correctly the first time
Contested Divorce
When you can’t agree — and need someone in your corner.
If your spouse and you are at odds over custody, assets, or support, you need an advocate who won’t back down. Contested divorce involves negotiation, and sometimes court — and the outcome depends heavily on who’s representing you.
- Disputes over child custody or visitation
- Disagreements on property or debt division
- Unresolved spousal or child support
- A spouse with their own attorney
