Uncontested Vs. Contested Divorce in Virginia

When spouses can come to mutually acceptable terms on all aspects of the divorce, your Manassas family law lawyer from Collins Family Law will draft a settlement agreement to present to the judge. In the vast majority of cases, a judge signs off on the divorce terms and issues the orders in the final divorce decree without the need for litigation in court. This saves time and money for the spouses and helps keep the court dockets clear. It also makes it easier for spouses to better communicate in the future since avoiding a court battle reduces feelings of anger and resentment. This is especially beneficial for spouses with children.

On the other hand, if spouses are unable to reach a settlement agreement through meetings and medication, the divorce becomes a contested divorce which then goes to court. In a contested divorce, both spouses and their attorneys present evidence and testimony supporting their side before a judge who makes the final decisions on the disputed terms.

A contested divorce takes far more time and involves many more billable attorney hours and court costs as well as the stress of court litigation.
