Uncontested divorce requires the agreement of both spouses. Technically, a divorce is automatically granted by a court when the spouse who is served with the legal papers of divorce fails to file a formal response. There are no issues for the court to rule upon and the divorce is granted. In an uncontested divorce, the spouses agree on everything and do not need the court to divide assets or make determinations about spousal or child support or custody. In general, an uncontested divorce will proceed through the system more quickly, be much less complicated, and less of a financial burden. 2.
