What is Uncontested Divorce?
In modern practice, an uncontested divorce will be accompanied by a complaint alleging irreconcilable differences, irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, and an uninterrupted separation for a period of the statutory minimum, usually three years. Some states will expedite the granting of the uncontested divorce when the parties sign Affidavits of Consent in which each party requests that the divorce be granted.
