Divorce is made easier for everyone involved if both parties reach an amicable agreement—which is what happens in an uncontested divorce. An uncontested or default divorce also occurs if the other party fails to respond to (or contest) the divorce, which results in a default judgment that dissolves the marriage. Uncontested divorces are desirable for several reasons, including the fact that they are faster and cost less than a conventional—contested—divorce.
You can work out an agreement with your spouse or domestic partner regardless of whether you choose to officially respond to the divorce petition. Some points to consider discussing include:
If both parties work out an agreement, then a stipulated judgment is drawn up. This binding agreement between both the respondent and the petitioner is notarized and entered into the court record.
If a couple fails to come to an agreement about the terms of the divorce, then the responding party must then contest the divorce. If the respondent in the case does not respond within the time allotted by the court, then the petitioner can request that dissolution by default be granted.
Respondents have just 30 days after being served with a petition for the dissolution of marriage to formally respond. It is at this point that you need the help of our Westlake Village uncontested divorce attorney to help you prepare your response or help you iron out the details of your agreement.
Your official response to the divorce petition will include information about the duration of your marriage/domestic partnership, the assets and liabilities that you share with the other person, and information about your shared children. Additional forms are required for a response in cases involving children.
Divorce is seldom pleasant, but an uncontested divorce can make the process a bit less daunting. Turn to the Law Offices of Ronald K. Stitch and our Westlake Village uncontested divorce attorney to help you navigate California divorce proceedings, from the initial petition for divorce through the final decree dissolving the marriage.
