What Is an Uncontested Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is a legal process where both spouses mutually agree to end their marriage and reach a consensus on key issues, like the division of assets, spousal support, child custody, and child support. Unlike a contested divorce, where disagreements may require court intervention, an uncontested divorce offers a smoother and more expedited path to dissolution.
In an uncontested divorce, spouses work together to create a comprehensive agreement that outlines the terms of the divorce. This agreement is then submitted to the court for approval, streamlining the legal process and allowing for a more cost-effective and efficient resolution.

Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in Ohio
While an uncontested divorce can simplify the dissolution of marriage, specific requirements must be met to ensure eligibility for this streamlined process in Ohio. The requirements include:
- Residency Requirements: In order to file for an uncontested divorce in Ohio, at least one spouse must have been a resident of the state for a minimum of six months before filing. Ensuring compliance with residency requirements is crucial to initiating the uncontested divorce process.
- Mutual Agreement: The heart of an uncontested divorce lies in mutual agreement between spouses on critical issues. Both parties must be willing to collaborate and reach a consensus on matters such as property division, alimony, child custody, and child support. Our experienced attorneys at Kemp, Schaeffer & Rowe can facilitate constructive discussions to help achieve a fair and balanced agreement.
- Complete Financial Disclosure: Transparency is key in an uncontested divorce. Both spouses are required to provide a full and accurate disclosure of their financial assets and liabilities. This information aids in the fair distribution of marital property and the determination of spousal support.
- No History of Domestic Violence: Uncontested divorces are designed for couples with an amicable relationship. If there is a history of domestic violence or other significant disputes, an uncontested divorce may not be suitable. Our legal team can assess your situation and provide guidance on the most appropriate course of action.
- Court Approval: Once all terms are agreed upon, the finalized agreement must be submitted to the court for approval. Our Columbus uncontested divorce attorneys ensure that all necessary documentation is accurately prepared and submitted, facilitating a smooth approval process.
