An uncontested divorce is exactly what it sounds like: a divorce where both spouses agree on the terms. There is no courtroom battle and no drawn-out fight — just two people ready to move forward.
At Divorce Envy, this is what we do best. We help couples finalize their divorce with dignity, clarity, and as little stress as possible. You agree on the big questions together, and we help you put your agreement into a form the Court will accept. This process allows you to take control, avoiding lengthy, drawn-out litigation that forces the parties to incur significant legal fees and costs. It’s the calmest, most affordable way to end a marriage in Arizona.
The uncontested divorce process starts when both spouses are on the same page about the terms of their divorce. These terms usually include property, debts, and any parenting arrangements. Once agreements on all issues are solidified, a joint Petition and a Consent Decree are drafted, reflecting the agreement terms. The Petition and Decree are then signed and submitted to the Court, starting the clock for the mandatory 60-day waiting period. After the waiting period, the Decree is submitted to the Court for review and approval. When done properly, the Final Decree (representing exactly what the parties wanted) becomes an Order, and there is no need for the parties to go to Court.
Because there’s nothing to argue about in front of a judge, the uncontested divorce process moves smoothly. Most of the work happens on paper, not in a courtroom.
The advantages are hard to overstate. An uncontested divorce is faster, less expensive, and far less stressful than a contested case. Perhaps most importantly, you maintain control of the process and the outcome. Instead of handing your life to a judge to make decisions regarding your future, you decide how the future will look. The result is a fair resolution.
For couples who want to stay on good terms, especially co-parents, this approach protects the relationship you’ll still have after the divorce is final. No one wants to be the parent that cannot attend a child’s future wedding because the other parent is attending.
Not every uncontested divorce looks the same, and that’s the point. Some couples arrive at our office fully in agreement and simply need the paperwork done. Others agree on most things but need a little help closing the gap on a few details. And some don’t know where to begin, but know they do not want to waste time or money or incur unnecessary emotional trauma.. In each of these cases, Divorce Envy is here to help guide you through the whole process.
Divorce Envy offers flat-fee plans built around exactly these situations. Whatever stage you’re at, there’s a clear path forward (and a clear price to match).
An uncontested divorce is a good fit when both spouses genuinely want to avoid unnecessary delays, are willing to cooperate with a focus on resolution, and want to maintain control of their respective futures. Not everything needs to be agreed upon today, but both spouses do need to be willing to work toward a fair agreement.
If communication has completely broken down, or if there’s a history of abuse or hidden assets, a different approach may be safer. We are always honest about what will and won’t work for your specific situation.
Not sure where you land? A short conversation is usually all it takes to find out.
It means both spouses agree on the terms of the divorce. You and your spouse resolve the details together and submit them to the Court for approval.
Arizona requires a minimum waiting period of 60 days before any divorce can be finalized, so even the smoothest case takes a couple of months. Despite the wait, an uncontested divorce still tends to be far faster than a litigated one, which can drag on for a year or more.
Costs vary, but an uncontested divorce is almost always the most affordable path. Divorce Envy uses flat-fee pricing, so you know the full cost up front with no surprises.
Not necessarily, and that’s part of what makes Divorce Envy’s approach efficient. We’ll explain our role so you understand exactly how the process works before anything begins.
For clarity, Divorce Envy works transparently with both spouses; communications regarding the divorce process and terms are NOT confidential from the other spouse. Our process is intentionally transparent to the parties, so both you and your spouse can not only maintain control but also avoid unnecessary fees and costs.
*Your information will be confidential to outside parties.
You’ve already done the hard part by choosing to handle your divorce amicably. Let us take care of the rest.
