Uncontested Divorce:
Because Breaking Up Shouldn't Break the Bank!

Bates Family Law has streamlined the Uncontested Divorce process, offering divorcing couples in the Rochester area our most efficient and economical solution.

Divorce is never easy, but it doesn’t have to be a long, stressful, or expensive battle. For couples in Rochester area, an uncontested divorce offers a peaceful and cost-effective way to dissolve a marriage with mutual respect and cooperation. 

Why Choose an Uncontested Divorce?

1. Save Money

Traditional divorce can be costly, with legal fees, court expenses, and drawn-out disputes. An uncontested divorce is significantly more affordable since both spouses agree on the terms without the need for lengthy court battles. At Bates Family Law, we streamline the process, keeping costs low for clients throughout Rochester and surrounding areas.

2. Faster Resolution

Contested divorces can take months—or even years—to finalize. An uncontested divorce moves much faster because there are no legal disputes to resolve in court. Our clients typically complete two forms and receive a settlement agreement within about a week, allowing them to finalize their divorce in just a few months.

3. Less Stress & Conflict

Divorce can be emotionally exhausting, but choosing an uncontested process helps reduce conflict. By working together to reach agreements, couples avoid heated court battles, minimize stress, and maintain a more positive relationship—especially important for co-parenting.

4. Stay in Control

With an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse make the important decisions about finances, property, and parenting—not a judge. This flexibility ensures that the final agreement works best for your unique circumstances and family needs.

5. Better Co-Parenting & Communication

For couples with children, an uncontested divorce can set the foundation for a successful co-parenting relationship. By working together to reach an agreement, parents build communication skills that help them cooperate in the future, keeping their children’s well-being the top priority.

What our clients are saying...

“Alison represented our daughter from birth until the finalization of her adoption. She was the most knowledgeable, patient, and thorough attorney we could possibly have worked with. While navigating the Family Court system can be incredibly confusing and taxing, Alison took the time to explain every step, and advocated tirelessly for the best interests of our child.”

– Julia C.

“Alison helped me get my kids back in my life! I had an order of protection against me that didn’t allow me to see my kids for 3 months... The day after the court date I was able to see my kids again... I can’t imagine what the outcome would have been if I didn’t have Alison in my corner.  Forever Grateful!”

– Mike P.

“Alison Bates is not just my attorney. Alison Bates is a warrior who battled to make sure my son and I could be together. Alison Bates was my light on a very dark, lonely and scary path. Now I look into my son's eyes and it is hard not to think about Alison and all she did in helping me maintain that unbreakable bond.”

– Mark I.

“Alison has been phenomenal during a very challenging divorce. Her empathy and compassion for my situation while being direct with the realities of the legal system were reassuring and made me feel secure in the path we were taking every step of the way...”

– Tiffany R.

“Alison was a source of compassion and support to me during a very difficult time. She is very knowledgeable and a strong advocate when needed. I appreciated her prompt responses and straightforward manner. When things became difficult, I felt glad to have her in my corner.”

– Kristen H.

When I first met Alison, I was a recently separated father experiencing parental alienation and was having limited access to my child despite my requests to the mother. Alison explained to me that what I was experiencing was not uncommon early on in the separation process and fought hard on my behalf to resolve the matter in a fair and equitable way. Alison was efficient, reliable, and provided clear communication throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her representation in any family law or divorce proceedings.
