Despite the alleged tension between her and her former husband, Vanessa Trump opted for an uncontested divorce, a high road position if you ask us. As noted by The New York Times, Vanessa filed for the uncontested divorce in Manhattan, New York, and, as such, the couple released a joint statement saying that they had "decided to go [their] separate ways."
So what exactly is this type of divorce? According to Attorneys.com, an uncontested divorce means that both sides agree on all the issues pertaining to their separation (think child custody, finances, property, etc.). Also known as a "simple divorce," it leaves both sides pretty much intact and avoids the harrowing back-and-forth arguments that divorces are often associated with.
Kenneth Burrows, a New York marriage lawyer who was not involved in Don Jr. and Vanessa's case, told The New York Times that the move was surprising. "An uncontested divorce is the much saner and healthier way of doing things, which makes it unusual for the Trump family," he said. If people opt to get divorced, this seems like the way to do it.
