Massachusetts has two types of divorces:

 

The 1A divorce (The uncontested divorce): You and your spouse agree on all terms and submit a separation agreement to the court for approval. The uncontested process is cheaper, simpler and quicker but only works if both parties can cooperate and agree on all aspects of their separation agreement.

 

The 1B divorce (The contested divorce): You and your spouse do not agree to one or all of the issues. If the parties are unable to negotiate a settlement, the issues will be presented to the judge in a trial.  This is the most common type of divorce and usually settles prior to trial.
