A divorce can be uncontested or it can be contested. An uncontested divorce is the simplest kind because this means that one spouse does not object to the demands of the other. If a husband files for divorce against his wife and demands the house and the car without the wife contesting, this is an uncontested divorce. If the wife wants the house, she is contesting the husband’s demands and that makes the divorce a contested one.

An uncontested divorce is going to be over much quicker than a contested one. Some couples choose this route for a quick resolution, even if it means one spouse will be left with hardly anything. Other times, the two parties may agree on how to split assets, which is, once again, uncontested. It is when the division of property or child custody is contested that the divorce can take a while to complete. This also includes spousal or child support, although Minnesota does have strict laws overseeing how support is managed.

Child Custody

Child custody tends to be a hot issue in divorce cases. Our Buffalo divorce lawyers have extensive experience in handling such cases and ensuring that the best interest of our clients and their children are at hand. There are times in which both parents want full custody, but one parent may want sole custody. Sometimes, joint custody is the agreement so that the children can spend equal time with both parents. Other times, it may be found to be in the best interest of the child for sole custody to be given to our client with the other parent being granted visitation rights.
