How is divorce settlement calculated?
A fair settlement should first identify marital and separate property and address only how marital property is divided. You should also look at your state’s laws on how property is divided. States usually follow one of two ways to divide the property: 50/50 (community property states) or through equitable distribution.
What happens if one partner doesn’t want a divorce?
If you properly served the divorce petition and your spouse filed an uncontested response, but won’t sign off on the final divorce papers, courts in some states may allow the case to proceed as though it’s uncontested. You may wait to be assigned a court appearance date.
