* Uncontested Divorce:

If you are married, the only way to legally end your marriage is to get a divorce. If all other issues arising from the breakdown of your marriage have been resolved, you could file a Simple Divorce Application in the Superior Court of Justice and may not require appearing before a judge. You have to get a Divorce Order and Certificate of Divorce before you can re-marry. You have to make sure that you give enough time to complete the process before making plans to marry.  Uncontested divorce is a relatively simple and inexpensive way to end your marriage.
