However, the decisions aren\u2019t over once spouses choose to proceed with divorce. Decisions regarding their family, assets, property division, and finances must also be made. A contested divorce occurs when spouses can\u2019t reach an agreement on these important decisions.<\/p><p>For example, one common cause for contested divorce is child custody. If the divorcing couple has minor children, they must decide custody terms for those children. When they cannot come to an agreement on their own, they must rely on guidance and help from attorneys, mediators, and judges.<\/p><p>Whatever the cause of the dispute, contested divorces can be mentally and emotionally draining.
