Important to know
Even in amicable matters, proper drafting ensures legal certainty and prevents future disputes. If we agree, we don't need a lawyer; divorce must be long and complicated; we can finalise everything informally—these are common myths.
Common questions
- Can spouses still use an attorney if they already agree on the divorce terms?
- Yes. Even where spouses agree, the summons, supporting documents, settlement wording and court process still need to be handled correctly.
- What issues usually need to be settled before an uncontested divorce can proceed smoothly?
- Common issues include arrangements for children, maintenance where relevant, and how assets or debts will be dealt with under the applicable matrimonial property system.
