Uncontested Divorces: What You Need to Know

I’m attorney Jonna Spilbor with your 60-second Legal Lowdown. Uncontested divorces can save you a ton of money in attorney’s fees. If you want to win friends and influence exes during the divorce process, here are a few tips.

One, don’t do stupid stuff. if you’re negotiating with your ex over money, refrain from taking an expensive vacation or doing anything that screams, “I don’t need the cash, but I don’t want you to have it either.”

Two, no angry texting! Angry texts are like bad tattoos. You’ll regret them and you can never fully make them go away. To you, it’s venting. To your ex, it’s evidence. Don’t do it.

Three, do not have your new partners assume mommy or daddy duties while your case is pending just to aggravate your ex. Being a jerk will turn your uncontested matter into a contested one. PS, if this happens to you, please refer back to tip number two.
