When considering divorce, there are two types – contested and uncontested. Put simply, a contested divorce situation, is one in which the parties cannot agree. Disagreement typically includes the terms of the divorce such as; division of assets, alimony, allocation of debts, or the custody of children.
 

Considerations With Contested or Uncontested Divorce

 
In an uncontested divorce situation, the parties to the divorce agree on everything and basically do not need the court to divide assets or make determinations about spousal or child support or custody. An uncontested divorce proceeding in Jackson Michigan will typically move through the court system more quickly, be much less complicated, and much less of a financial burden.
