Rock Hill Uncontested Divorce Attorney

Divorce doesn’t always have to be a long and complicated process. If you and your spouse agree on major issues like asset division and child custody, you may be able to go through an uncontested divorce. At Barboza Law, we help couples in Rock Hill, SC, and surrounding areas through the uncontested divorce process with as little stress and conflict as possible.

What is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree on all the key issues involved in ending their marriage. This includes:

• How property and assets will be divided
• Whether spousal support (alimony) will be provided
• How child custody, visitation, and support will be handled

When there is agreement on these points, the divorce process becomes faster, less expensive, and more amicable. Instead of a lengthy courtroom battle, an uncontested divorce allows you to focus on moving forward.

The Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce

Choosing an uncontested divorce offers several key advantages:

• Faster resolution: Since there are no contested issues, the divorce process can move quickly through the court system.
• Lower costs: Without lengthy court appearances and legal disputes, the cost of an uncontested divorce is significantly lower than a contested one.
• Less stress: By reaching an agreement with your spouse, you avoid the emotional toll of a drawn-out legal battle.
• More control: Both you and your spouse have more control over the terms of your divorce, rather than leaving decisions in the hands of a judge.

How Barboza Law Can Help with Your Uncontested Divorce

At Barboza Law, we understand that even in an uncontested divorce, the legal process can still feel overwhelming. Our goal is to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible for you, while ensuring that your rights are protected, and all of the agreements are organized, comprehensive, and legally binding. Here’s how it works:

• Filing the Paperwork: One spouse files the divorce complaint, citing the grounds for divorce, which in uncontested cases is often a one-year separation.

• Agreement on Key Issues: Both parties must agree on important aspects like how to divide assets, debts, and any arrangements involving children.

• Waiting Period: South Carolina requires a one-year separation before filing for divorce. After this, you can file the necessary paperwork.

• Court Review: Once filed, the court reviews the settlement agreement to ensure it's fair and legally compliant.

• Final Hearing: Both spouses attend a short court hearing, where a judge finalizes the divorce if everything is in order.
