The Benefits Of An Uncontested Divorce
When you get married it is because you are in love and want to spend the rest of your life with someone. It is not expected that you will have to make a choice to separate from your spouse if your marriage fails.
You may have received a petition under the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage act if you have considered divorce with your spouse.
The Benefits
A divorce is not the only way out of a marriage, there are other options to consider like an uncontested divorce for multiple reasons such as reduction of stress, saving your time and money, and having control in how your marriage ends.
Reduces Stress
The biggest benefit of an uncontested divorce is the minimization of stress that is felt during the process. A marital settlement agreement needs to be reviewed and signed by both parties to the terms and conditions of their divorce. If something is to go wrong down the line, then either party can enforce a clawback provision at the time.
Saving Your Money and Time
When you make the choice for an uncontested divorce, you and your partner have made an agreement on all of the terms and conditions of the marriage dissolution.
It is also agreed that both parties have an understanding on
child custody, spousal maintenance, marital debt, division of assets and more issues. An uncontested divorce will save both parties plenty of money and time because it is a mutual agreement amongst parties.
Control Over How Your Marriage Ends
With contested divorces, courts assign dates for the trial to start once all paperwork is complete. After this the divorce rests based on the decision made by the judge. However with an uncontested divorce the control over the choices made within the divorce is in you and your partner's hands.
The both of you are able to decide on what terms your marriage can end on and how it will end. This is also where shared time agreements as well as custody agreements will be settled if you have children. If you are currently in a contested divorce you can still talk things out and both come to a mutual agreement that works for the both of you.
We know how emotional divorces can be, so having an uncontested divorce helps with the moving on process for everyone. Having the help of a family and divorce attorney can make this process easier for everyone.
