What “Uncontested” Divorce Really Means
Many people hear “uncontested divorce” and think “simple” or “no lawyer needed.” In reality, uncontested divorce describes the level of conflict, not the level of complexity. It means you and your spouse do not plan to fight in front of a judge over the main issues. You either already agree or believe you can reach agreement with some help.
The legal work still matters, especially when you own a home, have retirement accounts, or earn more than a standard salary. High-income households often deal with bonuses, commissions, stock options, and business interests that require careful drafting even when no one wants a battle. We make sure your uncontested divorce reflects that complexity without turning it into a war.
Here is how our firm manages the technical side of your agreement:
- Jurisdictional accuracy – We confirm all residency and “living apart” requirements so the court has the authority to sign your decree.
- Separation agreement drafting – Our team creates detailed language to divide real estate, retirement accounts, and personal property without ambiguity.
- Statutory compliance – We manage the mandatory 60‑day waiting periods and all local court rules to keep your case moving toward finalization.
- QDRO coordination – If you are splitting a pension or 401(k), we handle the specific orders needed to move funds without tax penalties.
- Child-centered strategy – We refine your parenting plans to include specifics on holidays, school transitions, and extracurricular costs that standard forms ignore.
At Schaffner Family Law & Mediation, we take these matters personally because we know that the quality of your paperwork defines the quality of your future. We limit our caseload to stay hands-on with every detail, making sure your amicable split is handled with the same care as our most complex trials.
