What Is an Uncontested Divorce?

An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses fully agree on all terms of the separation, including:

Property and debt division
Child custody and visitation
Child support
Alimony or spousal support
Any additional financial or parenting arrangements

Since no disputed issues exist for the court to resolve, the process can proceed more efficiently and involve fewer hearings. However, “agreeing” is only the first step. The agreement must be clearly drafted, legally enforceable, and compliant with the laws of South Carolina. Mistakes, especially those related to finances, retirement accounts, real estate, or parenting plans, can be permanent and costly.

Why You Still Need a Lawyer for an Uncontested Divorce

Even the most amicable divorces require the handling of legal documents, mandatory disclosures, and court procedures that must be completed correctly.

Many people begin an uncontested divorce only to encounter problems such as:

Incomplete or incorrect paperwork
Agreements rejected by the court
Missing financial disclosures
Unclear parenting terms
Long processing delays
Unexpected disputes after filing

Klok Law Firm helps you avoid these pitfalls by preparing every document accurately so that all agreements meet legal requirements. We also help you understand your rights and obligations before making any final decisions. Our goal is to prevent future conflict while keeping the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in South Carolina

South Carolina allows an uncontested divorce based on one year of continuous separation, meaning the spouses must have lived apart without reconciling for at least 12 months.

After that, they must:

Agree on every issue related to the divorce
File the required pleadings and disclosures
Attend a brief final hearing (typically required even in uncontested cases)

The spouse filing for divorce must also meet residency requirements, which generally include at least one spouse having lived in South Carolina for at least one year before filing (or both spouses having lived in the state for at least three months).

While South Carolina does not have a separate “fast-track” divorce system, uncontested divorces are naturally streamlined because:

There is no litigation
Only one short hearing is usually required
The court reviews a complete settlement agreement instead of deciding issues

When all documents are correctly prepared, courts often finalize uncontested divorces much more quickly than contested ones.
