- The uncontested divorce process follows a series of steps, the first of which is that both spouses must agree on division of assets and liabilities, custody of any children, child support, and spousal maintenance.
- Agreement on each of these issues must be reduced to writing in a document called an opting agreement or a separation agreement.
- Once that agreement is signed, the papers required to obtain an actual divorce are prepared.
- Each party signs some of those papers, and they are submitted to the court for review.
- The court will ask for any required corrections and, once the documents are approved, the court signs the judgment of divorce, and it is filed with the county clerk’s office.
