Legally speaking, marriage exists as a contract between two people.
Like any contract, it has terms that are set that the two parties, the spouses, agree upon.
A divorce filing is fundamentally a dissolving of that contract, and like any contract, that involves the legal process of coming to some kind of agreement on how to end the contract, including how to divide assets, who to place the children with, and what visitation rights each person has, as well as alimony settlements.
Most times, the divorced couple agrees on those terms and comes to an easy settlement that allows them to move on quickly.

A divorce comes in many forms.
All of them can be difficult, but the form with the least amount of hassle is the uncontested divorce.
The case of an uncontested divorce is ideal, as it has the least amount of time spent taking legal action.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind before determining that your divorce is indeed uncontested.
For one thing, the state of Alabama recognizes the distinction between a fault and no-fault divorce.
Each has different grounds for which a divorce can be sought, but it boils down to whether or not one person is petitioning the court for a divorce on the basis of wrongdoing or violence.

Child custody and visitation matters can be a challenging hurdle to overcome when going through a divorce or the end of a relationship.
The main priority in these matters should always be whatever is in the best interest of the child and, if both parents cannot agree on what that is, the family court can then decide on how matters should proceed.
Before embarking on a legal custody battle, it's vital that both parties understand their different options so that the matter can be successfully settled in court.
