Uncontested Divorce Benefits

The dissolution of a marriage can be an emotionally charged journey, filled with heartache, confusion, and at times, anger. Legal divorces are challenging, involving back-and-forth with paperwork, negotiations, court appearances, and legal fees. In such trying times, it is crucial to have the right representation by your side to guide you through this difficult process. 


Uncontested divorce offers a potential way to end a marriage without the extended timeframes often associated with traditional divorce proceedings, which can stretch on for extended periods. In uncontested divorces, spouses must come to resolutions on various matters, including property allocation, financial arrangements, child custody, and child support. It's a significant step towards dissolution, but even uncontested divorces have their complexities, as no two divorces are identical.

Uncontested Divorce Frequently Asked Questions

What is an uncontested divorce?

An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree on the terms of the divorce – all major issues like asset division, custody arrangements, debt, and child support.   

How long does an uncontested divorce take in Oklahoma? If there are no minor children, an uncontested divorce can be finalized in as little as 10 days after filing. When minor children are involved, there is a 90-day waiting period before the divorce can be finalized.    
Do we both need to hire uncontested divorce lawyers? It’s common in an uncontested divorce for one spouse to work with an attorney and file the paperwork. However, both spouses have the right to consult with their own attorney to ensure their interests are protected.   
Do we have to go to court for uncontested divorce? In most cases, only one spouse needs to appear before a judge to finalize the divorce. We strive to keep court time to a minimum, especially with uncontested divorces.   
What issues must be agreed upon to stay uncontested?

Both parties must agree on division of property and debt, child custody and visitation, child support, and (if applicable) spousal support. Any disagreement on these issues can turn the case into a contested divorce.  

How much does an uncontested divorce cost?

Costs vary depending on the complexity of your agreement and court filing fees. Generally, uncontested divorces are far less expensive than contested cases because they require less time and fewer court appearances.

Can we change our agreement later?

Yes. Certain orders, such as child custody or support, can be modified if there’s a significant change in circumstances. Property division, however, is typically final once the divorce is complete.  

Why should I work with an attorney for an uncontested divorce?

Even when both parties agree, having an attorney ensures your paperwork is done correctly, your rights are protected, and the agreement is legally sound — helping you avoid costly mistakes or delays later.  

What are the benefits of an uncontested divorce?

Although divorces are inherently stressful and painful, approaching a divorce in this fashion offers several significant benefits:  

  • Cost Savings: Uncontested divorces typically result in cost savings. This streamlined process reduces the time required for legal proceedings, resulting in lower attorney fees and reduced court costs. 

  • Quicker Resolution: Uncontested divorces are often finalized more quickly than contested ones. The agreements reached between the parties lead to fewer legal proceedings, expediting the divorce process. The timeline, however, depends on various factors, which a trusted attorney can help you navigate. 

  • Reduced Conflict: While it's rare to avoid all conflicts, uncontested divorces tend to have fewer opportunities for disputes because both parties have come to an agreement. This can lead to a more amicable separation. 

  • Enhanced Privacy: Privacy concerns are often paramount in divorce cases. Uncontested divorces involve less public disclosure of information, preserving your privacy and making it easier to move forward after the divorce.
