  types of divorce available in most states.

Uncontested Divorce

• Uncontested divorce is considered a simple
  process.
• The spouses come to an agreement on all issues
  of the divorce without going to trial.
• Most couples prefer uncontested divorce because
  it is convenient and far better than going to
  trial.
• It also allows both parties to resume to their
  lives quickly.
