Uncontested Divorce

The easiest of all types of divorce is an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce is where the couple agrees on all issues relating to their divorce and this is when one spouse files an application for divorce and the other spouse does not file an answer. The spouse’s failure to file an answer is taken as being in agreement to the divorce filed; and he or she is not contesting the divorce and is in agreement with the divorce application. Therefore, one does not file for an uncontested divorce however, the divorce becomes uncontested if one spouse fails to file an answer to the divorce application of the other spouse within the required period of time.
