2/8/2026
While it is possible to handle an uncontested divorce on your own, the risks are significant. Divorce documents are technical, and decisions made now can have long-term consequences. Without legal guidance, you might:
Overlook rights you didn’t know you had
Accept unfavorable terms
Create ambiguity that leads to future disputes
A skilled Fairfax uncontested divorce attorney ensures your agreement is thorough, accurate, and protective of your interests, giving you peace of mind and confidence as you move forward.
