Contested and Uncontested Divorce Lawyers in Louisiana
A divorce is considered an uncontested divorce when both spouses cooperate to dissolve their marriage. That means they have worked out the major issues of their divorce and resolved all legal matters outside of the courtroom. Since there are no legal costs for litigation this approach saves time and money for couples that do not have children, a lot of assets or debts that can complicate matters.

Despite this seemingly efficient and cheap way to divorce, it is important to understand that there are legal ramifications for terms you agree to in a Louisiana uncontested divorce. Keep in mind that you are making decisions that will affect the rest of your life during a period of high emotions and stress. For this reason, it is best to consult an attorney before signing any divorce paperwork or agreeing to anything regarding the termination of your marriage-even if you and your spouse are in agreement.
Uncontested divorce is not for everyone, especially if you are seeking child custody, child support, alimony or have a large amount of assets. If you and your spouse are not in agreement about the terms of your divorce, you will need to file a contested divorce petition. During contested divorce proceedings, battles usually ensue over child custody, division of property and alimony. Therefore, it is important to have an attorney who will be able to help you understand the divorce process and be a strong ally and advocate fighting for your best interests.
