FAQs About Getting an Uncontested Divorce in Brooklyn

Sometimes a marriage comes to a gentle end with both partners deciding that it’s time to end the legal relationship amicably. There’s little to no arguments to be had, and both parties feel it’s better to live life apart as friends, and untangle the life they built together in a fashion that’s fair to both. An uncontested divorce still needs to go through a legal process, and that’s best accomplished with help from a Brooklyn uncontested divorce attorney at the Levitsky Law Firm.

What is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce is a divorce where both parties are amicable about the dissolution of the marriage and have no disagreements as to the division of assets collected during a marriage as well as making custody arrangements. Both parties are also amenable to putting their agreement into a court order and making the agreement to dissolve the marriage a legally binding one.

How Long Does a Uncontested Divorce Take?
