❓Can I JUST get a Divorce❓

The short answer is ➡️ ➡️➡️ Maybe.

✅ If you and your spouse have been separated for a period of one year or more, and have already dealt with the issues arising from your marriage (ie: parenting schedule, custody, child support, property) by way of a separation agreement, you can file what’s commonly referred to as an “uncontested divorce”.

❎ However, a judge will not grant a divorce if he/she is not satisfied that there are proper provisions in place for the care and support of the children.

You should also know that filing for a divorce before resolving property issues can limit the amount of time you have to make a claim for property division, and may limit other rights you have in the future. For that reason, we always recommend having at least a consultation with a to understand your rights, before moving forward with a divorce.
