What is an uncontested
divorce?
What is an uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce is the least expensive and least stressful way to get divorced. It is a legal process in which both spouses agree to dissolve their marriage and also
come to an agreement on related issues such as child custody, child support, visitation, property division, alimony, and other matters related to the divorce. In an uncontested divorce,
both spouses cooperate and work together amicably to reach a consensus on these issues, and their mutual agreement(s) are then presented to the court for approval by a judge. Because there are no disputes to litigate in court
an uncontested divorce can be filed without hiring an attorney.
In contrast, a contested divorce occurs in situations where spouses cannot reach a mutual agreement on one or more of these issues, which will require legal proceedings in court before a judge.
In a contested divorce, each spouse typically hires an attorney to represent them and each spouse provides testimony in court (which can be very stressful) to support their position on any disputed issues.
The judge will make binding legal decisions to resolve their disputes. Consequently, an uncontested divorce represents a quicker, more cost-effective, and less emotionally taxing alternative when compared to a contested divorce.

calculation for 2026?
Effective March 1, 2026, New York updated key income thresholds used to calculate child support and maintenance (alimony). These updates reflect inflation and help ensure support amounts match today's cost of living.
See: What's New in Matrimonial Legislation, Court Rules & Forms (2026)
2026 updates include:
Combined parental income cap:
Increased from $183,000 to $193,000
Maintenance payor income cap:
Increased from $228,000 to $241,000
Self-support reserve (SSR):
Increased from $21,128 to $21,546
Federal poverty level (single person):
Increased from $15,650 to $15,960
We use these updated thresholds to prepare our divorce documents, ensuring accurate child support calculations for 2026.
