Uncontested Divorce

At Johnston, Moore & Weston, we recognize that some couples are able to reach agreements on all aspects of their divorce without the need for extensive legal intervention. That’s why we offer our Uncontested Divorce Filing Service, designed specifically for couples seeking a simple and straightforward dissolution of marriage.

• Initial Assessment: We begin with a brief consultation to determine if your divorce qualifies as uncontested. This means both parties are in agreement on all issues related to the divorce, including property division, child custody, and support.
• Document Preparation: Once eligibility is confirmed, our experienced legal team will prepare all necessary paperwork for filing the uncontested divorce petition with the court. This includes the petition itself, along with any required supporting documentation.
• Filing with the Court: We handle the entire filing process on your behalf, ensuring all paperwork is submitted accurately and efficiently to the appropriate court jurisdiction.
• Court Representation: In most cases, uncontested divorces do not require a court appearance. However, if the court requires a hearing or appearance, our attorneys will represent you to finalize the divorce swiftly and smoothly.
• Finalization: Once the court approves the uncontested divorce, we will obtain the final divorce decree and provide you with copies for your records.
