Navigating the end of a marriage can be complicated and often feels challenging for both parties. An uncontested divorce can reduce stress and give the parties greater control over the final terms of the agreement. If you are going through the dissolution process, you need to speak with our dedicated Albany uncontested divorce lawyer.
At Colwell Law Group, our divorce attorneys dedicate themselves to helping families through the process. We can help you negotiate the terms of your divorce without ever stepping into a courtroom.
An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all terms of the divorce and sign a stipulated agreement. The parties work together and agree on child custody, parenting time, child support, property division, and spousal maintenance (formerly known as alimony). The parties set out their terms in a formal Stipulation of Settlement.
Our attorneys assist with drafting all necessary paperwork for an uncontested dissolution in Albany to ensure the final agreement includes all stipulations.
There are several advantages to spouses ending their marriage on mutually agreed terms. The parties can reach an agreement without Court intervention. They can complete the process more quickly and on their own schedule because there is no waiting for a Court’s availability or for a trial. Stress and conflict may be minimized as they work together to reach an agreement. The cost of an uncontested divorce may be less because there is no trial or hearing before the judge.
Our lawyers can help explain the advantages of an uncontested divorce in Albany and whether it may be right for you.
There are several things you can gather and provide for us at the beginning of the negotiations. We will want to examine financial documents, including pay stubs, bank statements, investment accounts, retirement plans, and tax returns. We will also need copies of the deeds for any real property you own. It is important to disclose all assets and debts at the beginning of the process so we can negotiate on all financial matters, including property division, child support, and spousal maintenance (formerly known as alimony). Additionally, knowing what you want to propose for custody and parenting time can move negotiations forward.
