What is an Uncontested Divorce in Massachusetts?

When both spouses agree on all terms of a divorce, it is uncontested. These terms include issues such as support, finances, and custody. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have an experienced attorney at your side. The confident guidance an attorney can provide will be an investment in ensuring that your desire to keep things amicable stay that way and you are able to glide through the process.

Even in an uncontested divorce, disagreements may arise regarding issues such as:

Child custody, including parenting time
Alimony
Visitation
Child support
Property division
Retirement plans
Responsibility for debts incurred during the marriage
Taxes

For these reasons, a genuine and experienced divorce attorney is vital to helping achieve the optimal resolutions for everyone involved.

How Long Does a Massachusetts Divorce Take?

What the parties disagree upon affects the time period for finalizing the process. While an uncontested divorce usually takes between two weeks to three months to be finalized, contested divorces can take much longer, often up to three years. An experienced divorce attorney in Norfolk County can guide you throughout every stage of the divorce process while ensuring your rights are fully protected.
