Cons of Uncontested Divorce
Posted on Jan 6, 2012 6:30pm PST
Are you considering an uncontested divorce? While this may seem like a good idea at first, you should be aware that there are some disadvantages to filing for this type of divorce.
Ask any lawyer about the disadvantages of an uncontested divorce and you will hear that it is just too simple. Even if you are striving for simplicity, you might wind up losing out in the end. You may agree to something now just to be done with your divorce but realize down the road what you wish you had done it differently.
The second problem with this type of divorce is that one person may not have a lawyer, which means that certain decisions may be made that the person will disagree with in the future.
Therefore, whether you are going through a contested or uncontested divorce, it is advised that you hire a family lawyer who can protect your rights as well as your best interests.
