Uncontested Divorce
A Simpler Way to Divorce

Divorce is a major life change, but it does not have to be chaotic, expensive, or hostile. Where both spouses are able to reach agreement on how they will separate, an Uncontested Divorce offers a calm, practical and efficient way to bring the marriage to an end.

At Barnard Attorneys Inc., we help couples who want to part ways with respect, certainty and legal protection. Our role is to take what you have agreed, turn it into a legally binding arrangement, and guide you through court with as little stress and delay as possible.

What Does “Uncontested Divorce” Mean?

An Uncontested Divorce is when there is nothing for the court to argue about. In other words, you and your spouse already agree on all the important consequences of ending your marriage, including:

  • How your property and debts will be divided
  • Whether either spouse will pay maintenance
  • How your children will be cared for (if you have minor children)
  • How financial support for the children will be handled

Because the court is not asked to resolve disputes, the process is quicker, cheaper and far less emotionally draining than a contested divorce.

Why Many Couples Choose the Uncontested Divorce Route

An Uncontested Divorce offers clear advantages:

  • You avoid long and expensive legal battles
  • The process moves much faster
  • There is less conflict and emotional strain
  • You keep control over your own decisions
  • Your private affairs are not dragged through prolonged litigation

It allows both parties to close one chapter and move forward without unnecessary damage.

How We Handle Your Uncontested Divorce

  1. Initial Assessment

We confirm that your matter is suitable for an uncontested divorce and explain the legal steps ahead, so you know exactly what to expect.

  1. Drafting Your Agreement

We prepare a detailed settlement agreement that records everything you have agreed on — property, maintenance and child‑related arrangements — in a form that is legally enforceable.

  1. Court Documentation

We draft the divorce papers, arrange for the Sheriff to serve them, and make sure all procedural requirements are met.

  1. Enrolment

Once everything is in order, we book the matter on the Uncontested Divorce court roll.

  1. Finalisation

One of our attorneys attends court and finalises the divorce. Once the order is granted, your marriage is legally dissolved.

When Children Are Involved in a Uncontested Divorce

If you have minor children, the law requires that their best interests are protected.

Your agreement will include a parenting plan that deals with:

  • Where the children will live
  • How time will be shared between parents
  • School holidays, weekends and public holidays
  • Decision‑making about education, health and general welfare
  • Financial support for the children
These arrangements must be approved by the Office of the Family Advocate before the court will finalize the divorce. We handle this process for you

If Your Spouse Does Not Oppose the Divorce

A divorce can also proceed as an Uncontested Divorce if your spouse simply does not defend it.

If the divorce papers are served and no opposition is filed within the allowed time, the matter can proceed as an Uncontested Divorce and be finalized by the court based on your evidence and any agreement that exists.

We manage the entire process, including time periods, enrolment and court appearance.
