3 Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce in Utah


Does anyone really want to spend more time on their divorce? Does anyone really want to drag it out any longer than necessary? If you're like most, your primary goal is to bring the relationship to an end so you can move on with your life. Unfortunately a typical divorce is an adversarial process that naturally brings a great deal of stress to your life. If you choose an uncontested divorce is Utah, though, you'll be able to benefit from the factors below.

It's (Typically) Cheaper - And Faster

Generally speaking, divorce is an expensive proposition. It's not just the fees you have to pay to your lawyer that count - you may have to take time off of work to go to court or miss out on important job opportunities in order to bring the marriage to an end. When you get an uncontested divorce, though, you'll be given a chance to resolve things quickly and inexpensively. Because there is less work involved, there is always a lower cost for an uncontested divorce than a contested divorce. Because there is no need to go to court and less of a need to negotiate, there's also less time spent for all involved.

Less Public Information

If you value your privacy, an uncontested divorce might be for you. Even if there are things about which you disagree, it might be better to simply sign off and move on for those who don't want their dirty laundry aired in public. Once the divorce goes to the court, you'll likely have to air a good bit of dirty laundry that you might hope to keep private. If your divorce is uncontested, though, you can keep these issues between you and your former spouse.
Uncontested divorces are especially important for people how value their standing in the community. Contested divorces will almost always involve some degree of disclosure and you never know who will use that information in the future. Choose an uncontested divorce if you wish to keep your secrets to yourself.

Easier on All Involved

Perhaps more importantly, an uncontested divorce is far easier for everyone involved. Because it is generally faster than a contested divorce, you will be able to bring your relationship to an end without drawing out the process. You will also be given the chance to move on without going through an adversarial process - something that can help you to set the tone for any relationship you might have in the future. Uncontested divorces are also far easier on children, as there will be less of a need for the children to become involved in the divorce process. You can put your children first by avoiding court and going through an uncontested divorce.
