What is an Uncontested Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is a divorce that has been fully resolved outside of court—without the need for a contested trial. An uncontested divorce is generally formalized through a written document—that is signed by both spouses. The process is generally quicker and less expensive than a contested divorce because it avoids a lengthy court battle. All issues need to be worked out before a couple in Houston County can get an uncontested divorce, including:
- Property Division: Property division is the legal process of allocating assets and debts between spouses during a divorce. Alabama uses an equitable distribution standard.
- Spousal Support: In some cases, a financially-advantaged spouse may owe ongoing support (alimony) to a former partner. Spousal support is not awarded in all divorces.
- Child Custody: Divorce is more complicated for parents of young children. They need to work out custody and visitation under Alabama’s best interests of the child standard.
- Child Support: A divorced parent may be required to pay child support to their former spouse as part of a divorce settlement. Alabama has child support guidelines.
