A quick definition of contested divorce:

Contested divorce is when a married couple disagrees on the terms of their divorce and one spouse opposes it in court. This is different from an uncontested divorce, where both spouses agree to the divorce. In a contested divorce, the spouses may litigate and go to court to resolve their disagreements. This can include issues like alimony, child custody, and visitation.

A more thorough explanation:

A contested divorce is a legal process in which one spouse opposes the divorce in court or in which the spouses litigate. This means that although both spouses may want the divorce, they disagree on the terms of the divorce decree. In contrast, an uncontested divorce is one in which both spouses agree on all aspects of the divorce.

For example, if one spouse wants to end the marriage but the other spouse wants to stay married, the divorce is contested. Another example is when both spouses want to end the marriage, but they disagree on issues such as child custody, alimony, or property division.

In a contested divorce, the court will hear evidence and arguments from both sides and make a decision on the terms of the divorce decree. This can be a lengthy and expensive process, and it may require the assistance of attorneys and other professionals.
