In uncontested divorces, the spouses come to an agreement about the property, children and support issues. When both parties present the court with a fair and equitable agreement, the divorce is usually approved. If the two parties cannot come to an agreement, they may ask the court to decide how to split property and help arrange child custody. Collaborative divorces and mediated divorces are considered uncontested divorces. Ask your attorney for divorce advice regarding these options. 

Were you aware that your state may have a waiting period until you are considered officially divorced? Kansas and Missouri laws may different, so we recommend you consult with your attorney. For divorce to take effect, each state follows different guidelines. Every attorney for divorce in our firm is knowledgeable in the guidelines associated with the waiting period. 

Many clients are surprised to learn their states also may have a remarriage waiting period. In some states, both parties must be given time to appeal the divorce decree before you can remarry. Those states that have remarriage waiting periods generally calculate the waiting period from the day the judge approves the divorce decree. Kansas currently has a 30-day waiting period, while Missouri does not have one. If you marry before the imposed waiting period ends in Kansas, your new marriage would generally be voidable rather than void. This means either party to the new marriage could ask to have the marriage declared invalid.
