When two people in a marriage both decide that it is time to separate and divide their assets and/or set a time sharing schedule with their children, they are often beyond the tedious, emotional, and stressful aspects that go hand in hand with seeking a dissolution of marriage.  While divorce can be a complicated process that is filled with many emotions and unnecessary compromises between a husband and wife, it does not always have to be that way.

A divorce can be contested or uncontested.  In a contested divorce, the parties agree on very little so this type of a divorce can be very difficult and take a lot of time to resolve.  On the other hand, an uncontested divorce can be very simple and be completed within a couple of months provided that an attorney is involved.  But, an attorney can only represent the husband or the wife in order to avoid creating a conflict of interest.

As should be expected, the most important aspect of divorce for couples without minor children is the division of money and assets, as well as alimony.  In an uncontested divorce, these matters are generally resolved in an amicable manner.  If the parties have children, all issues related to the children are also agreed upon.
