Uncontested Divorce Attorney in Minnesota

Helping You Divorce Peacefully, Efficiently, and Affordably

At Roach Law PLLC, we understand that not every divorce has to be a battle. When both spouses are in agreement about the major terms—like property division, parenting time, child support, and spousal maintenance—an uncontested divorce offers a faster, less stressful, and more affordable alternative to traditional litigation. Our firm is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your rights are protected and your paperwork is done right the first time.

What Is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce in Minnesota is a legal dissolution of marriage where both parties agree on all key terms of the separation. This includes:

  • Division of marital assets and debts

  • Child custody and parenting time (if applicable)

  • Child support and spousal maintenance

  • Any other relevant family law issues

Because there are no disputes to resolve in court, uncontested divorces are typically quicker and more cost-effective than contested divorces. They are ideal for couples who are ready to move forward and want to avoid drawn-out legal battles.

Who Qualifies for an Uncontested Divorce?

To pursue an uncontested divorce in Minnesota, you and your spouse must agree on:

  • How to divide property and debts

  • Whether one party will receive spousal maintenance

  • Custody, parenting time, and child support (if children are involved)

In addition, one spouse must have lived in Minnesota for at least 180 days before filing. If there are any issues that are still in dispute, you will not qualify for an uncontested divorce. However, Roach Law PLLC can assist you in negotiating final agreements in your divorce, and ensuring that any loose ends are resolved.

Our Process

At Roach Law, we make uncontested divorce as simple as possible:

  1. Initial Consultation
    Attorney John E. Roach will meet with you during a free consultation to review your case and determine whether we can assist you with your uncontested divorce.

  2. Drafting the Divorce Documents
    Roach Law then prepares all necessary documents, including the Joint Petition, Stipulated Judgment and Decree, and Confidential Information forms.

  3. Review and Signatures
    You and your spouse will review and sign the documents, and we’ll make sure everything is properly signed and prepared for submission.

  4. Filing with the Court
    Roach Law can then file your documents with the appropriate district court and monitor the process.

  5. Final Judgment
    If everything is in order, a judge will sign off on the divorce decree and enter final judgment, meaning that you are officially divorced.

Common Questions About Uncontested Divorce

How long does an uncontested divorce take in Minnesota?

If all paperwork is correctly filed, an uncontested divorce can be finalized in as little as 30–60 days, depending on the court's schedule.

Do we have to go to court?

In some uncontested cases, no court appearance is required. However, when children are involved or when one side is represented by an attorney, a court hearing is usually required.

What if we agree on everything but want legal advice?

You can still benefit from hiring an attorney to review your proposed agreement, especially for complex property issues or to avoid future disputes. It is important that all appropriate documentation is completed and submitted correctly, in order to avoid unnecessary delays or (in some cases) serious legal issues.
