Uncontested Divorce
Conditions for an Uncontested Divorce Case
Divorce is the termination of a marriage, legally entered into by spouses, by resorting to one of the grounds for divorce stipulated by law. There may be general and specific grounds for divorce in the law, and the type of uncontested divorce is one of the sub-reasons of the general grounds.

What is the Uncontested Divorce Process?
- If the marriage has been less than a year, it is not possible for the parties to divorce by mutual agreement. In this case, the parties can divorce based on the grounds for divorce.
- The application of either spouse is sufficient.
- It is essential for both parties to personally attend the uncontested divorce case and demonstrate their firm stance on divorce, even if they are represented by our family lawyers.
- The financial aspects of divorce include matters such as compensation and alimony. The parties must reach an agreement on these issues; if not, they can seek help from our lawyers. If the spouses have common children, they must absolutely agree on custody. The judge must approve all these agreements without any hesitation. The judge has the right to make any necessary changes to this agreement, considering the best interests of the spouses and children. They have the freedom to divorce if all these changes are reviewed and accepted in the uncontested divorce petition.
After the first hearing date is set, it takes 2-3 months. However, by submitting a motion for expedited hearing to the court where the case will be heard, these periods can be minimized, and sometimes divorce can be finalized within 7-15 days.
