    Answers to Your Top Questions
    • What if my spouse does not want a divorce?
      If your spouse does not want a divorce, you can still file. The court will likely have a hearing, but a divorce can be granted even without mutual agreement if the marriage is irretrievably broken.
    • How do I modify a divorce decree?
      To modify a divorce decree, you must file a petition with the court. Changes in circumstances, such as income or living arrangements, can justify modifications to support or custody orders.
    • What is the first step in filing for divorce?
      The first step in filing for divorce is to file a petition with the family court. This document outlines the grounds for divorce and any requests regarding property, custody, and support.
    • What is an uncontested divorce?
      An uncontested divorce occurs when both parties agree on all terms, including property division, child custody, and support, making the process relatively quicker and less costly.
