Uncontested Divorce
Divorce law in New York is complex; preparing, filing, and serving the paperwork is complicated; and spouses stand to lose a lot if they do not understand their rights and obligations. Therefore, we recommend that you retain counsel whether your divorce is contested or uncontested. We do not handle contested divorces.
An uncontested divorce is one in which the facts are not in dispute and mutual agreement has been reached on the terms of the divorce.
