Understanding Columbus Uncontested Divorce Proceedings

If you are going through divorce, don't hesitate to contact Richard L. Morris Co., L.P.A for the compassionate representation you deserve.
How to Get An Uncontested Divorce in Ohio

Once a divorce has been filed by either spouse, it is up to the court to grant its official status. As long as the other spouse agrees to the terms laid forth in the initial filing, or if one spouse fails to register his or her opposition, an uncontested divorce may proceed.
How Long Does Uncontested Divorce Take in Columbus, Ohio?
Because uncontested divorces are handled outside of the courtroom, lengthy litigation periods are unnecessary. Typically, an uncontested divorce in Ohio can be finalized in a matter of months. This is much shorter than the contested divorce process, which can take years to finalize.
Comparing Uncontested Divorce and Dissolution in Ohio
While similar, uncontested divorce and dissolution of marriage are different. For a dissolution, there needs to be the absence of fault alleged by one spouse to the other. In an uncontested marriage, there is still alleged fault, but the spouses still agree that their marriage should end and work on their divorce terms together.
In both cases, negotiating the post-marriage matters (custody, support, etc.) is most critical. Vigilant, knowledgeable representation is recommended for both spouses during this process to ensure that their final agreements are amicable and fair.
