Michigan Uncontested Divorce Lawyer
An uncontested divorce in Michigan is when the parties agree on all issues relevant to their divorce. The benefits of an uncontested divorce include less stress, expenses, and attorney fees. Even when spouses agree on every aspect of their divorce, it is still wise to consult and retain a Michigan uncontested divorce lawyer. In an uncontested divorce, both parties should consult their own attorney to ensure that everything has been covered thoroughly and fairly. At the Law Office of Julian J. Poota, PLLC, an uncontested divorce lawyer can:
- Draft legal documents, such as the complaint for divorce and the judgment of divorce;
- Assist you through any additional negotiations;
- Counsel you as to your legal rights and entitlements;
- Advise you regarding spousal support calculations, child custody arrangements, parenting time schedules, child support calculations, and mechanics to property division and other areas sometimes overlooked in uncontested divorces;
- File paperwork, appear in court, and draft a final judgment based upon your agreements
Agreement on All Issues
To obtain an uncontested divorce, all parties must agree on every aspect contained within the divorce judgment. If even one area is disputed, an uncontested divorce is not possible. This does not mean that you will have to go to trial; mediation can help the parties resolve their remaining areas of contention.
