Strategies for Co-Parenting After an Uncontested Divorce
Understanding Co-Parenting After an Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce occurs when both parties agree on all major issues, including asset division, child custody, and support arrangements, without the need for a trial. In Ontario, this type of divorce is often quicker, less expensive, and less adversarial than contested divorces. Because uncontested divorces involve less conflict, they create a more conducive environment for successful co-parenting.
The cooperative nature of an uncontested divorce sets a positive foundation for co-parenting. Since both parties have already agreed on key issues, they are more likely to continue working together to make decisions in the best interest of their children. The reduced emotional and financial strain from an uncontested divorce allows both parents to focus more on their children’s needs rather than lingering animosity.
