Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an uncontested divorce possible?
Both spouses must agree on every issue, including property division, child custody, parenting time, and support. Reaching agreement before filing makes the process much faster and more predictable.
How fast can an uncontested divorce be finalized in Santa Fe?
While timelines vary, uncontested divorces in New Mexico often conclude within a few months, provided all forms are complete and accurate from the start.
Do we have to go to court for an uncontested divorce?
