Uncontested Divorce
Where both parties agree but one spouse does not want to go to or cannot go to the final hearing.
Both Sign Papers
Both parties agree on the terms of divorce. They sign a Separation Agreement and a final Judgment Entry which are adopted by the Court.
The spouse who filed the case must attend the final hearing (or attend via Zoom if it is the rule of the Court).
The basis for the divorce (such as incompatibility or a one-year period of separation) is corroborated by a witness. This can be a friend or a family member.
