An uncontested divorce is typically a lot easier to work with, but there’s a catch: An uncontested divorce can’t be appealed later. When you appeal the terms of a divorce, you are making an argument that there was a mistake during the legal process. This is usually a strategy that can give you a second chance at renegotiating the terms of your divorce. Fortunately, you can still make adjustments to the terms of your uncontested divorce after you and your spouse come to an agreement. For example, in the event of major life changes (such as losing a job) you may need to adjust how much you pay in spousal support. In this case, you and your ex would need to come up with a modified agreement.
