Common Questions About Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which both spouses agree on all key issues — including property division, debt allocation, spousal support, and any child custody arrangements. Because there are no disputes for a judge to resolve, an uncontested divorce typically costs less and concludes faster than a contested one.
To qualify for an uncontested divorce, you generally need to meet your state's residency requirement (often 6 months to one year), reach mutual agreement on asset and debt division, and — if children are involved — have a workable parenting plan already in place. This checker walks you through those four core eligibility criteria so you can see at a glance whether an uncontested divorce path is open to you.
Keep in mind that even when a divorce qualifies as uncontested, the paperwork and court filing process still requires care. Mistakes in your Marital Settlement Agreement or Petition for Dissolution can delay your uncontested divorce or cause a judge to reject the filing. Using an uncontested divorce checklist alongside this tool helps ensure nothing is missed.
