What happens when you contest a divorce?

pretty much what happens is it takes longer and the lawyers get more of your money.

You can only contest the terms of the divorce settlement, not the proceeding itself. If you don't agree to the terms presented, both sides will be argued in court and a judge will make a final determination as to the divorce settlement. Some states require couples to go through mediation to try and bring them to terms before they'll put the matter before a judge. The most you'll do by not agreeing on terms is cost both of you more money and drag it out longer than it needs to be.

It goes to Court and BOTH sides are considered...they normally try and send you through Mediation...BUT be WARNED anything you agree to in Mediation the court agree's to.....and is set..so be Careful.....

And ALL divorces can be contested...BUT that does not Stop a Divorce it just sets the conditions and what those conditions will be by the court and the law Only, it will never stop a divorce from happening , just prolong it till its settled !!!

why do you have to be a b*tch? why can't you just let the poor guy be?
