Avoiding Conflict Through Uncontested Divorce

A simple, uncontested divorce can help you avoid conflict. Learn more about how this can be done in Pennsylvania.

2012-09-08

September 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) Divorce can be one of the most painful and humiliating experiences a person can have in life. It may arise after months or years of strife, or because of infidelity, for example. It is no secret that hard feelings and revenge are frequently played out in court proceedings, and divorcing parties may never want to speak to each other after the divorce is final.

Indeed, divorcees are entitled to their emotional pain. After all, marriage is supposed to last forever, and divorce often carries with it a strong sense of betrayal. People in these situations often don't see the big picture or view divorce objectively. This often leads to needless litigation and deeper emotional wounds. When this happens, the actual costs (both financial and emotional) of high-conflict divorces can be overwhelming and an unwise investment of time and money.

But it doesn't have to be this way. People in Pennsylvania reach amicable, diplomatic divorces every day when they reach even-handed agreements on property division, child custody and support, as well as the payment of outstanding debts. These are called simple, uncontested no-fault divorces, and they generally do not require a court appearance.

Benefits of Uncontested Divorce

Besides not having to go to court, an uncontested divorce has several benefits. First, you will not have to argue or appear in court over property. In a simple, uncontested no-fault divorce action, there is no protracted legal battle over "who gets what." Second, you will not have to spend much money getting divorced. Bickering couples spend an inordinate amount of money on motions, discovery and other legal tools in an attempt to get what they believe they are owed. These are unnecessary in simple, uncontested no-fault divorces, since agreements are usually reached before the first court papers are filed.

Most importantly, the parties benefit from the freedom and flexibility that a simple, uncontested no-fault divorce provides. They are generally prepared to meet the terms of their accord and are much more likely to follow their own agreement than an order issued by a court.

If you are seeking a simple, uncontested no-fault divorce in Pennsylvania, a family law attorney can help you understand your rights under the law, as well as the information required to complete the necessary papers. In some cases, a lawyer can help maintain the lines of communication and mediate subtle disputes that may impede an agreement.

Effective Use of Utah Non-Compete Agreements

2012-09-08

An increasingly common part of doing business is dealing with non-compete agreements. Salt Lake City companies may use the contracts to protect their intellectual property, trade secrets, customer lists and other business interests. Non-compete agreements make it difficult for former employees to find similar employment in a particular field.

Florida Child Relocation: How Do You Measure a 50-Mile Move?

2012-09-08

When a child's parents are unmarried, whether through divorce or because they never chose to marry, moving the child's primary residence through parent relocation can be legally complicated. For example, if the child lives with the father in Pensacola and the mother lives nearby and regularly spends time with the child, and the father gets a job offer in Miami, may he move away with the child? The 600 miles between the parents would clearly interfere with the relationship of the child and the mother. Florida Relocation Law The Florida statute that controls child relocation ...

Standard chemotherapy provides equivalent survival rate to experimental in lung cancer patients

Treatment with pemetrexed, carboplatin and bevacizumab followed by maintenance pemetrexed and bevacizumab (Pem+Cb+B) is no better than standard therapy with paclitaxel, carboplatin and bevacizumab followed by bevacizumab (Pac+Cb+B) in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NS-NSCLC), according to research presented at the 2012 Chicago Multidisciplinary Symposium in Thoracic Oncology.

Rust never sleeps

2012-09-07

Rust – iron oxide – is a poor conductor of electricity, which is why an electronic device with a rusted battery usually won't work. Despite this poor conductivity, an electron transferred to a particle of rust will use thermal energy to continually move or "hop" from one atom of iron to the next. Electron mobility in iron oxide can hold huge significance for a broad range of environment- and energy-related reactions, including reactions pertaining to uranium in groundwater and reactions pertaining to low-cost solar energy devices. Predicting the impact of electron-hopping ...

Lack of support for 'ring-fencing' cancer drugs fund revealed

2012-09-07

The public oppose the cancer drugs fund but support the new pricing system for branded medicines, according to a new study. When asked if the NHS should pay more for cancer drugs compared to medicines for an equally serious condition, the majority of 4,118 people surveyed across Britain said it shouldn't. Medicines were favoured, however, if they met the criteria by which the value of new medicines is to be assessed as part of the value-based pricing scheme, due to be introduced from January 2014. Treatments were preferred if they were for severe diseases, if they ...

Influenza research: Can dynamic mapping reveal clues about seasonality?

2012-09-07

MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. - Influenza outbreaks in the United States typically begin with the arrival of cold weather and then spread in seasonal waves across geographic zones. But the question of why epidemics can vary from one season to the next has baffled scientists. In a paper titled "Deviations in Influenza Seasonality: Odd Coincidence or Obscure Consequence," Elena Naumova, Ph.D., professor of civil and environmental engineering at Tufts School of Engineering, and collaborators from the U.S. and India suggest that the search for answers has been thwarted, in ...

Needle beam could eliminate signal loss in on-chip optics

2012-09-07

Cambridge, Mass. – September 7, 2012 - An international, Harvard-led team of researchers have demonstrated a new type of light beam that propagates without spreading outwards, remaining very narrow and controlled along an unprecedented distance. This "needle beam," as the team calls it, could greatly reduce signal loss for on-chip optical systems and may eventually assist the development of a more powerful class of microprocessors. Based at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne, CNRS, in ...
