A dissolution of marriage in the Garden State where both spouses are in complete agreement on all key issues is generally termed an uncontested proceeding. This includes matters such as property division, spousal support (alimony), child custody, and child support, if applicable. This type of marital dissolution offers a streamlined alternative to a more adversarial process.
Opting for a collaborative approach to dissolving a marriage can provide several advantages. It typically results in a faster and less expensive resolution compared to litigated cases. The reduced conflict can also minimize emotional stress on all parties involved, particularly any children. Historically, this method has become increasingly favored as couples seek more amicable ways to separate their lives.
