Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce

Understanding the difference between contested and uncontested divorce is a crucial step in effectively planning your path forward. In an uncontested divorce, both spouses reach an agreement on key issues such as property division, custody arrangements, and support obligations. This cooperative approach can significantly streamline the process, making it not only more efficient but also considerably less stressful for both parties involved. Matthew M. Johnson, Attorney at Law can provide invaluable assistance in ensuring that all agreements are clearly documented, thoroughly reviewed, and legally sound, thereby minimizing potential conflicts down the line.


Conversely, a contested divorce arises when the parties are unable to reach an agreement on one or more critical issues. These cases typically necessitate court involvement, and it's not uncommon for emotions to run high during such proceedings. In this scenario, Matthew works closely with clients to meticulously prepare for hearings, gather all necessary documentation, and effectively present a compelling case to the court. Whether your divorce is straightforward and largely amicable or complex and fraught with disputes, Matthew M. Johnson, Attorney at Law is deeply committed to guiding you through the process with unwavering confidence and clarity, ensuring that your best interests are always prioritized.

Every divorce is unique in its own way, and there truly is no one-size-fits-all solution that can address the varying complexities and emotions involved. Matthew understands this and takes the time to carefully explain all of your legal options, ensuring that you fully grasp the choices available to you. He is dedicated to answering your questions thoroughly and thoughtfully, empowering you to decide the direction that best aligns with your needs and circumstances.
