In uncontested divorce and straightforward cases, it can proceed that smoothly. This happens most often in shorter marriages, ones with no children and little or no shared property, and situations where spouses agree on all the important issues.
The more you have to deal with, the more complex the process becomes. When you have children, substantial wealth or debt to divide, or a long-term marriage, divorce is much more complicated. You may need to fight for an equitable parenting plan or to secure rights to a shared home.
When couples can’t come to terms on these or other important issues, they often must go through arbitration or mediation. If such methods of alternative dispute resolution don’t work, you may ultimately find yourself in trial.
