Uncontested Divorce in Johnstown, PA

An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which the spouses ultimately resolve the relevant terms between themselves, without the need for intervention by the court. Because both financial and parental rights are involved, the stakes are high, which makes having focused legal representation in your corner paramount. There are many advantages associated with uncontested divorce, and our experienced Johnstown, PA, divorce attorneys at Silverman, Tokarsky & Forman, L.L.C., are standing by to help.

Your Divorce Case

You will file your divorce with the Cambria County Prothonotary’s Office at the Cambria County Court of Common Pleas in Ebensburg. This is also the court that will handle your uncontested case and will issue your final divorce papers.

The Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce

The advantages of keeping your divorce out of court are considerable. The primary reason that spouses put a good deal of effort into negotiating terms out of court, however, is that they prefer to make critical decisions for themselves.

Additional benefits include all the following:

  • The process tends to be less expensive.
  • Because the court’s docket is not involved, the process tends to be less time-consuming.
  • Uncontested cases tend to be less contentious, which makes the process less emotionally challenging, including for your children.
  • Because court records are generally a matter of public record, an uncontested divorce offers greater privacy.

Resolving the Terms of Divorce

Your divorce will be utterly unique to your unique situation, but every divorcing couple must address the same terms, which include all the following that apply:

  • The fair distribution of marital property
  • Child custody, which includes decision-making authority and visitation
  • Child support
  • Alimony

Each one of these can prove exceptionally challenging to resolve, but just because you’re seeking an uncontested divorce doesn’t mean you’ll be forced to do so on your own.

How a Knowledgeable Divorce Lawyer Can Help

Your capable divorce attorney will play a primary role in moving your case forward toward an optimal outcome. This includes helping you establish your priorities, which can afford you a considerable edge in terms of negotiations.

Your lawyer’s guidance will extend to helping you gather and compile the paperwork necessary to back up your position and to engaging in skilled negotiations on your behalf. If one or more of your divorce terms remain unresolved, you can count on your persuasive divorce attorney to skillfully guide you through the mediation process. Because mediation is generally the last stop before an uncontested divorce becomes contested, it can prove very motivating and very effective.
