Previously to be able to divorce your partner you would have to claim that they had done something negligent or immoral such as adultery, abuse or even abandonment and even on those grounds you would need proof that your partner had physically abused you or proof that  they have had an extramarital relationship.

Nowadays, fortunately divorcing your spouse is much simpler. Partners can divorce out of court without dragging the family and children through the divorce courts and sparing the family of having to listen to awful stories concerning a spouses philandering or abuse.

Avoiding a courtroom divorce is essential if there are children involved as it spares them the embarrassment and psychological trauma of listening to their parents infidelities in court.

These days, the majority of states permit ‘no fault’ or ‘no contest’ divorces which basically means both spouses agree on a divorce and also agree on all settlement conditions. These include split of assets and loans, including cars and houses and also child custody and maintenance as appropriate. In some instances, however an attorney maybe needed to sort out child custody.

With a ‘no contest’ divorce you don’t have to give a reason for the divorce either and because of so many couples these days getting married so young or after knowing each other for only a short while, ‘no contest’ divorces really are a popular choice.

In many instances ‘no contest’ divorces can be kept away from the court room which also means they are much more cost effective. Both partners will have the choice of agreeing a settlement between themselves and their lawyers and sending it to the judge to be signed.

With courtroom divorce costs running into thousands, a ‘no contest’ divorce is, by far, the simplest way in which to get divorced and is growing in popularity in both the uk and Usa.
