Let’s not focus on the actual term, let’s focus on you and your spouse.  While the common term is “uncontested”, some may call it amicable, no-fault, quick, fast, easy, etc.  It is easier to answer this question if we focus on what is going on between you and your spouse in order to determine if your case meets the profile for our firm as an “uncontested divorce”.

1. do you both want a divorce?

2. do you both want your divorce to be resolved amicably, without the use of a Judge?

3. do you both agree to the division of debts?

4. do you both agree to the division of assets?

5. if you have children, do you agree on a schedule (parenting time)?

6. if you have children, do you agree to follow Kansas Child Support Guidelines for figuring child support?

7. have you both discussed maintenance (or alimony)?  Do you agree to waive this support amount or do you agree to pay it?

The most important factor here is that you BOTH agree on things and that you BOTH want your case resolved quickly, amicably, and without court intervention.  This does not mean that you both use the same attorney, however.  It is advisable for each party to at least have an attorney review the agreement prepared to confirm the agreement is fair, just and equitable.
