A uncontested divorce is a simple and inexpensive way that most people divorce. It gives you and your spouse the chance to agree upon the terms of the divorce so that you can end your marriage quietly and with dignity.

Once the terms of the divorce have been agreed upon then you include them in the uncontested divorce form and sign off on it plus file it. If your having trouble with coming to terms then try using a divorce mediator before you take it to court. Getting a neutral friend or person to help mediate is a lot cheaper than hiring lawyers to argue it out in court. A divorce doesn't have to be as painful as you might think.

Besides the fact that an uncontested divorce is the least expensive way to divorce there are however also many other advantages. It's also a private process and helps to keep the level of conflict between you two to a minimum. Of course you will have to put it on public record when you file it but the various proposals and disclosures you made throughout the process doesn't have to be on public record.

Even if you and your spouse don't agree on every issue, you two will probably agree that an uncontested divorce is best to help minimize the cost. Sometimes coming to this realization alone will stop the fighting and will prevent a more expensive divorce where you need a lawyer. From there you can then begin to negotiate until you agree upon all the issues and terms of the divorce. It may take some time, but be patient, you can get through it.
