Uncontested Divorce Lawyer in Ohio

Columbus Uncontested Divorce Laws

An uncontested divorce is one in which both partners come to mutual agreement. Both spouses have agreed to the divorce and to the post-marital arrangements. Because an uncontested divorce involves less paperwork and fewer court proceedings it can be finalized in less time and for less money than its contested counterpart.

If you are going through divorce, don't hesitate to contact Richard L. Morris Co., L.P.A for the compassionate representation you deserve.

How to Get An Uncontested Divorce in Ohio

Uncontested divorce is widely considered to be the most simple and straightforward type of divorce in Ohio. This is because both parties usually agree on most, if not all, of the various elements included in the divorce decree.

To be eligible, both spouses must be in agreement regarding:

Once a divorce has been filed by either spouse, it is up to the court to grant its official status. As long as the other spouse agrees to the terms laid forth in the initial filing, or if one spouse fails to register his or her opposition, an uncontested divorce may proceed.

How Long Does Uncontested Divorce Take in Columbus, Ohio?

Because uncontested divorces are handled outside of the courtroom, lengthy litigation periods are unneccesary. Typically, an uncontested divorce in Ohio can be finalized in a matter of months. This is much shorter than the contested divorce process, which can take years to finalize.

Uncontested Divorce vs. Dissolution of Marriage

While similar, uncontested divorce and dissolution of marriage are different. For a dissolution, there needs to be the absence of fault alleged by one spouse to the other. In an uncontested marriage, there is still alleged fault, but the spouses still agree that their marriage should end and work on their divorce terms together.

In both cases, negotiating the post-marriage matters (custody, support, etc.) is most critical. Vigilant, knowledgeable representation is recommended for both spouses during this process to ensure that their final agreements are amicable and fair.
