Yes, a contested divorce can become an uncontested divorce at any point – and vice versa – if you and your spouse can reach a negotiated agreement on whatever issues are outstanding.
At the Preliminary Conference, the two sides will go through a checklist of items relevant to your divorce to see what elements you agree on and which you are at odds over.
This will give you a clearer picture of your situation and help you and your spouse identify which areas can be productive for negotiations.
Because of the cost of litigated divorces, there’s strong incentive for both of you to avoid taking the matter to court.
Some divorces are decided by a judge, but for most couples, finding a mutually agreeable resolution is both possible and preferable.
