Divorce is rarely ever a pleasant process, even when you and your spouse agree on most things. You’re facing decisions about property, finances, and possibly children, all while navigating a legal system that feels foreign and stressful. If you and your spouse can reach an agreement on the key issues, an uncontested divorce can be faster, simpler, and less emotionally draining than a traditional divorce. Finding the right uncontested divorce lawyer can make all the difference in achieving a smooth and fair resolution.
At Psonya Hackett Law, we guide clients through this process with decades of experience, a JD/MBA, and CDC Certified Divorce Coach expertise. We strategize divorce. We fight for women who are ready to take their power back and protect their peace, their assets, and their families.
What Is an Uncontested Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses agree on the major elements of the separation. This can include:
Property and asset division
Debt responsibility
Child custody and visitation
Child support and spousal support
Even though there’s no dispute, the legal system still requires the proper forms, filings, and court review. Memphis courts have specific procedures, and mistakes or omissions can delay your case. That’s why having a local expert who knows the nuances of Shelby County courts is crucial.
Our Process, Your Path To Success
At Psonya Hackett Law, we combine local Memphis legal knowledge with strategic insight. We know how to leverage facts to your benefit, predict moves before they happen, and protect your interests.
Here’s how we guide you:
Step 1: Understanding Your Situation
We start by listening. Every client has unique circumstances, and understanding your priorities allows us to map out a plan that protects your peace, assets, and family.
Step 2: Reviewing Agreements
Even if your divorce is uncontested, agreements on property, support, or custody need to be sealed with no loose air bubbles. We ensure your agreements meet Tennessee law standards and protect you against future disputes.
Step 3: Preparing and Filing Documents
We handle all the filings, forms, and court communications required in Shelby County. Our familiarity with local judges and court procedures helps bypass legal delays and mistakes.
Step 4: Finalizing the Divorce
We prepare you for your brief court appearance and ensure the process is smooth and stress-free, so you can move forward without a bump in the road.
