The term “contested divorce” means the parties are unable to come to a complete resolution of all terms related to their divorce.  Most contested divorces result in both parties needing an attorney to represent their respective interests.  If your spouse has an attorney on their side and you cannot come to an agreement, you should have an attorney helping you also.
