Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an uncontested and a contested divorce?

In an uncontested divorce both spouses agree on the divorce and its consequences — custody, support and property. Where there is no agreement, the matter proceeds on a petition and the court decides the disputed points. Uncontested proceedings are generally faster and less burdensome.

What happens with custody of the children?

The decision is made according to the best interests of the child. Parents may reach an agreement on the exercise of parental rights; failing that, the court decides.

How is property acquired during the marriage divided?

Property acquired during the marriage is as a rule joint property. Division may be agreed or determined in court proceedings, establishing what forms part of the joint estate and what is separate property.

Do I have to attend the hearings?

Personal attendance is often required in matrimonial matters. You will be told in advance which hearings you must attend.
