An efficient, private path to divorce when you and your spouse agree on the terms.
When you and your spouse agree on the key issues, an uncontested divorce lets you finalize efficiently, keep costs down, and keep your personal matters private. At Shim Law Group, P.C., we prepare and file the paperwork correctly so a simple case does not get delayed by an avoidable mistake.
Even when spouses agree, the terms still need to be documented properly and meet New York's requirements. We make sure your settlement agreement is clear and complete, so it protects you and holds up over time.
We draft a clear agreement, prepare the filings, and shepherd your case through the court so it is finalized without unnecessary delay. If a disagreement surfaces along the way, we are ready to help you resolve it.

It is a divorce in which both spouses agree on all of the terms, including property, support, and any parenting arrangements. Because there is no dispute to litigate, it is usually faster and less costly.
It is wise to have one. An attorney makes sure the agreement is complete, enforceable, and filed correctly, which helps avoid problems later, even when the divorce is amicable.
Timing depends on the court's processing, but uncontested cases generally move faster than contested ones because there is nothing to litigate. We prepare the paperwork to avoid delays.
If a single issue is in dispute, the case is technically contested as to that issue. We can often help you resolve it so the rest can proceed as uncontested.
