Uncontested vs. Contested Divorce in Orange County
A divorce can be contested, or uncontested. In a contested divorce, the parties cannot agree on the terms of the divorce. Controversies may arise over division of assets, allocation of debts, alimony, property distribution, child support, child custody, or visitation.
In an uncontested divorced, the parties agree to terms of the dissolution of their marriage and do not need the help of the court to make determinations of custody, support, or property distribution. An uncontested divorce in Orange County will proceed much more rapidly to final judgment than a contested divorce in Orange County.
What steps should you take when filing for divorce?
One of the smartest things you can do once you have decided to file for divorce is to call the Tim Peabody Law Firm to assist you. Getting a divorce takes time and you will have many questions. The best approach is to assemble a list of questions that you can ask of your attorney.
You will need to assemble your financial records for financial disclosure, and think about the terms of the divorce, such as how you wish to divide your assets, allocate debts, and whether you should apply for alimony, child support or custody of any children. An Orange County contested divorce will take longer to achieve than an uncontested divorce. The Tim Peabody firm will put their expertise to work for you whether you have an Orange County uncontested divorce or a contested one.
