Change Divorce Terms Impact

Summary

If your uncontested divorce changes to contested, it means there are disagreements on issues like property division, child custody, or support. This will likely involve more court hearings, a longer process, and higher costs. To respond, review the new terms, consult your lawyer, and prepare for court. You can file a motion to transfer the case back to District 10 if it was moved improperly. Gather evidence, draft the motion, and ensure proper service. If your spouse cancels court-ordered insurance, file a motion for contempt. For hospital costs while in police custody, review bills, contact the police department, and seek legal aid for disputes.
