• Contested Divorce in Northern Virginia

  A divorce is classified as a contested divorce when you and your spouse cannot arrive an agreement on one key issue, eliminating the possibility to terminate your marriage conclusively and amicably. Contested divorces are common throughout Northern Virginia due to the large amount of important legal issues to resolve during your divorce. These include:

  • Settlement agreements
  • Equitable distribution of valuable assets
  • Spousal support
  • Child support
  • Child visitation rights
  • Alimony
  • Debt allocation
  • And more

• Uncontested Divorce in Northern Virginia

  Uncontested divorce is not a possibility for divorce in which couples are unable to communicate and negotiate with one another, divorces where adultery has been committed, one spouse was abused by their partner, or one spouse is more dominant than another.

  However, if you and your spouse are able to proceed with an uncontested divorce, there are many advantages. Uncontested divorces minimize expenses spent on legal counsel and court fees, since they are settled out of court. Uncontested divorces are also often settled much faster than contested divorce. Since they are settled out of court and between couples with mutually beneficial settlement goals, the time spent mediating or litigating is significantly reduced. Lastly, uncontested divorces are much more private. Any disputes discussed or agreements reached outside of the courtroom are kept out of public records.

  The same legal issues can be resolved during both uncontested and contested divorces.
