Definition of "Divorce (Contested)"
In the simplest terms, a contested divorce is a divorce in which one of the parties does not wish to receive a divorce (or is unwilling to agree to the other party’s terms). While mediation can often help the divorcing couple reach an agreement, litigation will be necessary if they cannot agree. This type of divorce is very rare in the United States.
