Uncontested divorce New York means that both the husband and a wife agree to all the terms and conditions of a divorce without fighting over any of the small stuff or even the big stuff like custody of the children. An uncontested divorce usually only happens to couples who are younger with no children or older and their children have all grown up; however some of the older will fight over personal property accumulated during the years of marriage such as the family home, a lake house or boat, an RV, retirement packages or other big-ticket items.
