The Bottom Line 95% of divorces settle without a contested trial. And in my experience, most end up in the range of a fair settlement. So, the odds are in your favor -- let's just skip the mess along the way and get right to the heart (sorry) of the matter. Everyone deserves a clear process to end their marriage.

About the motions A “motion” is a request you file with the court asking the court to do something—in this case, to change or enforce your order. The three motions are: Motion to Modify. Motion to Enforce. Motion for Contempt.
It is possible to get a divorce without going to court, especially in cases where both parties mutually agree to the divorce and its terms. This process is often referred to as an ``uncontested divorce'' or ``amicable divorce.'' Here are the key steps and considerations:
A divorce decree could be invalid if a judge's decisions were based on incorrect information or if the judge made errors affecting the outcome. If one party concealed assets or debts from the other, that could be grounds for appeal or modification.
The consequences of the motion: A motion to enforce, if approved, inflicts no punishment on the non-compliant party and instead serves as a reminder to fulfill their legal duties. Alternatively, a motion for contempt can result in jail time or fines for not following a verdict.
