No Fault Divorce or Uncontested Divorce Takes Blame off Either Party

Uncontested means there is no arguing over things such as money or who will have custody of the children. Uncontested divorces are on the rise all across the country but no one seems to have a good idea of the reason. Many couples may decide they have had enough of whatever it is that is pulling the marriage apart and may just decide it’s time to walk away, deciding not to fight any longer. Other theories on uncontested divorces are that there has been abuse and women – the ones most on the receiving end of abuse – have simply walked away and are not fighting any longer, they simply want out and typically leave things like the house and money to the husband.

The marriage ends through ‘no fault’ of anyones. There is a place on the divorce decree which states who asked for the divorce and in an no fault divorce, there is no husband versus wife or the other way around, it is a mutually agreed upon decision.
