Are there benefits to an uncontested divorce?

Yes, there are.  An uncontested divorce means that the couple has reached an agreement on all family issues, including division of property, child support and visitation, and spousal support.

The number one benefit of obtaining an uncontested divorce is that any agreement that you and your soon-to-be spouse reach, will often be more in your favor than having a judge decide the matter for you.  Another reason is that your expenses will be less because you will resolve issues much more quickly.

Lastly, both parties will most likely be in much better financial shape by seeking an uncontested divorce at the beginning.  Keep in mind, going through a long, drawn out legal battle will end in severe financial consequences for all concerned.
