Uncontested Divorce Attorney Bethesda, Maryland

Skilled negotiation of your settlement agreement that saves time and money

Uncontested divorce is the simplest and most cost-effective form of divorce, but it’s not always easy to achieve. It requires that husband and wife reach an agreement prior to filing on all matters related to the divorce, including child custody, child support, visitation, alimony and property division. A spouse might be tempted to comment, “If we could agree on all that, we probably wouldn’t be getting divorced.” That’s why the services of a skilled and experienced uncontested divorce attorney are so important. The Bethesda legal team at The Law Office of Stacy B. Talbott works with you to ensure that you have every opportunity to avoid a trial by reaching a workable and lasting settlement of your divorce issues.

Uncontested divorce process in Bethesda, Maryland

The process for uncontested divorce in Maryland is not much more than a formality in which the court affirms the settlement agreement the spouses have already signed. The process of reaching that agreement can involve a traditional negotiation where each party has an attorney, or mediation or collaborative divorce, where parties work together cooperatively to come to agreement. The Law Office of Stacy B. Talbott is experienced in all methods of dispute resolution and can advise you which process is best suited to your circumstances.  Maryland now recognizes a Mutual Consent divorce.  There is no separation period required and if the spouses have signed a comprehensive Agreement and both wish to be divorced, the Court will enter a divorce even if you are still living together.

Limited divorce

A limited divorce, also known as a legal separation, can give some of the benefits of divorce to couples who, for whatever reason, are not ready to finalize an absolute divorce. If you are having difficulty resolving your divorce issues with your spouse, a limited divorce can be an intermediate step. In many cases, the legal separation agreement can be the basis for your uncontested divorce settlement agreement later on.

  • Stacy: I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done. It has been such a stressful and emotional time for me but you made it simple and as pain free as possible. I can’t even express to you how much it means to me. All of the time and money, there are not works that can tell you how thankful I am. You are such a kind, compassionate, generous person. I do believe in good karma and that no good deed goes unnoticed! Thanks

  • My ex-husband (bipolar I + severe alcoholic) left Maryland for 2 years and abruptly returned, demanding to resume visitation with my son. To protect my son, I sought a child custody attorney and was referred to Stacy Talbott. She did a fantastic job of opposing my ex-husband’s outlandish case, while also controlling costs. My ex-husband’s attorneys dropped their fallacious suit against me and we settled out of court, with virtually all of my originally desired protective provisions in place.

  • Thanks to Mrs. Talbott and Mrs. Michelle, they helped me during one of the most difficult times in my life. I’m happy that God chose the right lawyer for me as I had absolutely no idea how to find one by myself. Despite the fact that the separation/divorce was painful, interacting with the two of them helped me stay positive. I recommend Mrs. Talbott for anyone that I care for.
