San Antonio Uncontested Divorce Attorney
Uncontested divorce is for couples who simply realize rationally that the marriage is not going to work out. Newer married couples, those with fewer assets, or those whose differences involve less emotion or resentment are good candidates for uncontested divorce.
As in mediated divorce, you are taking control of an amicable separation process and keeping your decisions out of the hands of a judge who doesn't know you. Uncontested divorce can work even if children are involved: the parties may be in agreement on how custody and visitation can be arranged.
Is Uncontested Divorce for You?
In uncontested divorce, there should be no significant issues in dispute. If the relationship has involved unbalanced power or even abuse, one party may be abused in the uncontested divorce.
Generally, only one lawyer is involved. This lawyer officially represents only one party. The other acknowledges in writing that the lawyer does not represent him or her. If the situation is simple and you feel you can trust your ex and his or her lawyer, you can ask the lawyer questions, but bear in mind it is an "arms length" relationship. If you wish to have your own lawyer, you may do so, but it is not necessary and could complicate matters.
Be sure your spouse's and your own feelings are stabile enough to continue to trust and cooperate with each other. Occasionally, once the reality sinks in, bad feelings emerge.
