What is a Contested Divorce?

A contested divorce arises when couples are unable to agree on significant issues such as the division of assets, child custody, child support, or spousal support. In these situations, both parties often require mediation, negotiation, or litigation to resolve their differences and reach a fair agreement.

A contested divorce is typically more complex, time-consuming, and emotionally draining compared to an uncontested divorce, but at Divorce Easy, we work with both parties to help them reach a mutually agreeable resolution without unnecessary conflict. We aim to make the process as smooth and cooperative as possible. If mediation efforts are unsuccessful or if the issues remain unresolved, we provide assistance in proceeding with litigation, ensuring that the matter is handled through court proceedings to reach a fair and legal resolution.

How contested divorce outcomes can go

When a divorce is contested, there are different ways the outcome can go. If all goes according to plan, issues are resolved through negotiation or mediation before reaching a full trial. Other times, if no agreement is reached, the court will decide for you. The process can involve several steps, including case conferences, questioning, interim applications, and trial if needed. Each situation is unique, depending on how willing both parties are to cooperate and settle key matters like property division, parenting, and support.

To help you understand the path a contested divorce might take, we’ve included a flow chart below for a step-by-step overview.
