How Contested Divorce Works

A contested divorce is when one or both spouses dispute some aspect of their divorce, such as property division, child custody, child support, and spousal support. Divorce proceedings take much longer to complete and often involve increased legal fees and greater stress.

The following are the numerous steps spouses take before a contested divorce is finalized:

Prepare, file, and serve the divorce petition
Respond to the petition
Interview and hire a divorce lawyer
The discovery process
Pre-trial motions and hearings
Settlement proposals and negotiations between both parties and their attorneys
If a settlement is not reached, prepare for trial
Complete a court trial
