What is an uncontested divorce?

An uncontested divorce is one where your spouse does not intend to contest the grant of your divorce and agrees to allow the matter to proceed undefended. Under the new laws which came into effect in April 2023, almost all divorces are now ‘uncontested’.

Your solicitor will collect all the relevant details from you, draft all the necessary documents, correspond on your behalf with the other parties involved (your spouse and their solicitor, if appropriate) and prepare and file all the relevant papers with the Court to obtain your divorce.
