It means that either spouse can divorce the other by stating irreconcilable disagreements. Asset division and property settlements are not influenced by one spouse's actions over another. However, the behavior of each parent is considered when children are involved and deciding visitation and custody schedules. Uncontested divorces are more accessible and cheaper ways to settle a divorce. In this procedure, you have control of the asset division, custody, and visitation issues. This process is also lengthier and requires a court appearance, and a judge decides all the divorce issues.
