Divorce Definitions To Know
When you get divorced, there is certain terminology you should understand. First, you need to know that your divorce will fall into one of two camps:
- If you and your ex are aligned on divorce terms such as child custody, child support, alimony, and asset division, you are going through an uncontested divorce. Uncontested divorce is the quicker and cheaper type of divorce since there is no need for litigation. It also means that you will not need to attend a session in court. For many people, aligning on uncontested divorce can feel more empowering, as you are making decisions for yourselves rather than having a judge decide for you.
- On the other hand, if you and your ex are not in alignment on the essential terms of divorce, you are going through a contested divorce. This type of a divorce can take more than three months, and in some cases, over a year. If you and your ex are not able to come to agreement via negotiation or meditation, a judge will determine the outcome for you.
In addition to the different divorce types, you should be aware that meditation is required in the state of California before your divorce can be finalized. Meditation is the process by which you and your spouse attempt to resolve your disagreements. There are other situations in which meditation can be waived during a contested divorce, such as if you are divorcing someone who is abusive to you.
