A contested divorce is more complicated because one spouse refuses to come to the necessary agreements required by the Family Court to dissolve the marriage. The first thing to remember is that your spouse cannot stop or suspend the divorce proceeding.
The law requires the judge to wait a certain amount of time before the divorce can be finalized. While the other party might attempt to delay it and drag it out, eventually you will get your divorce as long as you have help from a divorce lawyer with experience in contested divorces.
The next thing to remember is that to obtain the divorce, you and the other party will have to come to an agreement on the division of marital property, disposition of the marital home, child access and custody, child support, and possibly spousal support. These issues should ideally be dealt with before proceeding with your formal divorce application.
