Uncontested Divorce Attorneys

Eisenberg Law Offices, Madison, Wisconsin

When a relationship reaches the point of no return, it is better to let go than carry on. Contrary to the popular belief that ending a marriage entails arguments in the court over who gets to keep the motor home or the log cabin, divorce does not have to be expensive and stressful. As divorce is becoming more common and the stigma attached to it fades, increasing number of American couples choose to forego the courtroom drama of establishing who is right. Instead, they value the speed and ease offered by an uncontested divorce.

The uncontested divorce attorneys of Eisenberg Law Offices, located in Madison, Wisconsin, are ready to guide you through your divorce with fewer proceedings and less legal wrangling, enabling you to move forward with your new life.

What is Uncontested Divorce?

For a divorce to be uncontested, both spouses must have a clear agreement about all the issues related to ending their marriage, such as property division, custody of children, support payments and any other financial matters. Since Wisconsin is a no-fault divorce state, the spouses do not need to state a negative, fault-based reason for dissolving the marriage – it is sufficient to declare that the union is “irretrievably broken”.

Over 95% of all divorces in the U.S. get filed as uncontested. The vast majority of couples prefer to end their marriage this way because of the benefits this process offers:

• Financial ease. Generally, the uncontested divorce is the cheapest way to end a marriage, as the process is shorter than in contested divorces, resulting in lower amounts of legal fees.
• Efficient time frame. The uncontested divorce usually happens faster than most people anticipate – it can be done in as little as twenty days, as opposed to the often extensive proceedings of contested divorces, which can span years.
• More privacy. Since in uncontested divorce there is simply less information to be filed, it minimizes the amount of private information made public.
• Lower level of conflict. The shorter proceedings of uncontested divorce can lower the amount of conflict between the spouses simply by offering fewer chances for arguments to arise. Thus, the couple can part quietly and with dignity, sparing also the children from the emotional strain of a prolonged divorce.
