Marriage is an agreement between two people. Both people make promises in exchange to have the other as a spouse in their life. However, sometimes in life one spouse breaks the marriage agreement. The result of this action is sometimes a decision by the couple that it is impossible for them to continue their agreement.

An Uncontested Divorce is a legal action that is settled by a written agreement between the marital couple that ends the marriage. The written agreement is subject to Alabama law, and should be written by a licensed Alabama attorney. If the case is filed correctly, and approved, the divorce can be final approximately two months after the case is filed.

Vestavia Hills, Alabama

Vestavia Hills is a city in Jefferson County, Alabama, a suburb of the city of Birmingham.

Vestavia Hills is named for the 20 acre (hectare) estate of former Birmingham mayor George Ward which was situated on the crest of Shades Mountain on what is now the northern edge of the city. Ward's mansion at the Vestavia estate became a landmark in the area as soon as it was completed in 1925. The two and a half story house was patterned after the circular Temple of Vesta in Rome with dark pink sandstone walls encircled by twenty massive white Doric columns surmounted by a carved entablature. The extensive gardens, populated by statuary and peacocks, featured a smaller domed gazebo, which was patterned after the Temple of Sibyl in Tivoli.

After Ward's death the house, something of a tourist stop near the highway between Birmingham and Montgomery, was used as a tea-room and reception hall before being donated to Vestavia Hills Baptist Church. The church met in the temple structure for several years before demolishing it in 1971 to make way for a larger building. The gazebo was relocated by the garden club to a prominent outcropping closer to the highway to serve as a landmark gateway into the community.

The development of Vestavia Hills as a residential suburb began in 1946 when developer Charles Byrd planned a subdivision for approximately 1000 persons on the gently sloping southern flank of Shades Mountain. It was incorporated as a separate city on November 8, 1950 and has since grown, by rapid development and annexation, into a thriving small city. As of the 2000 census, the population of the Vestavia Hills is 24,476.
