The divorce process can be a complicated task. You may sue for divorce thinking that the proceeding will be uncontested, but thereafter discover that your spouse has decided to contest the divorce which means, he or she has decided to fight the case. Although divorces may be emotionally contentious, most divorces do not end up contested.

In every divorce there are many issues at stake, including

Usually, both parties negotiate and settle issues such as division of property, spousal support, and child custody. There are cases where both parties reach an agreement by mediation, with a trained mediator who intervenes and tries to help both parties to reach an agreement. The parties then present their negotiated or mediated agreement to a judge.

If both parties are unable to agree about issues regarding property, support, and child custody, they may ask the court to decide one or more of those issues.
