No fault divorce
Divorce terminology can sometimes be confusing. One of those terms often misunderstood is no fault divorce. It it sometimes thought that a no fault divorce means that every issue is resolved in the matter. This is actually not the case. A no fault divorce simply means that there need not be any blame or reason stated for one party seeking a divorce. Not all states have no fault divorce statutes in place, thereby making the party seeking the divorce state grounds. No fault divorce simply means any party seeking a divorce in a state that supports this type of divorce, will be granted a divorce, regardless of the other party's desires. This can mean a quick divorce, which is always preferable to both parties.
Uncontested Divorce
The term uncontested divorce refers to the fact that all issues within the marriage and disolution of the marriage have been agreed to and worked out by the parties. Uncontested divorce forms provided in a divorce kit will contain all the pleadings related to division or marital property, child custody issues, child support issues, alimony and any other issues related to dissolving the marriage. It may be important, even if divorce forms are used, to have an attorney at least look over the forms for any issues that the parties might not have covered. However, using divorce forms will greatly reduce the costs of legal advice.
