Experience With Both Contested And Uncontested Divorce

Spouses who want to end their marriages must fully understand all of their options, including whether they want to pursue a contested or an uncontested divorce. A contested divorce may prove necessary when spouses are unable or unwilling to reach an agreement regarding any divorce-related issues. On the other hand, an uncontested divorce may be pursued when both spouses are able to agree on all issues associated with the end of their marriage. Mr. Schwab helps people in both contested and uncontested divorce actions.
