Contested & Uncontested Divorce

Because No Two Divorces Are Alike…

At Palmer & Manuel, we understand that each divorce is different. No two couples are the same, so no two divorces can be handled in the same way.

Our team of attorneys is experienced in handling both contested and uncontested divorces. We work closely with couples to work out a divorce plan that meets their needs.

Contested Divorce

A contested divorce is any divorce in which both parties have one or more issues on which they cannot agree. Most divorces are contested, as most couples have disagreements regarding property division, child custody and other divorce-related issues.

When handling a contested divorce, our attorneys strive to provide clients with options that meet their goals throughout the process. We assist in issuing temporary orders for couples whose divorces are not yet final. We will attempt to settle, but if a settlement cannot be reached, we have vast experience in trying family law cases.

Uncontested Divorce

For many couples, many of the issues are truly uncontested, but if the spouses have a disagreement on any issue of significance, the case is not truly an uncontested case.

Our family law attorneys can advise you as to the extent that your divorce may be contested.

An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which both parties agree on each and every divorce-related issue. While not always possible, this is generally the most efficient and cost-effective option for couples who wish to divorce.

For many couples, the majority of the issues in their divorce may be uncontested, but if the spouses disagree over any issue of significance, their divorce is not truly uncontested. At Palmer & Manuel, our family law attorneys can advise you as to the extent that your divorce may be contested.
