What is an uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce is one where you and your spouse agree on all aspects of ending the marriage, including division of assets and debts, spousal support, and child custody. Because of your agreement, you can avoid a lengthy court trial. The divorce is typically finalized within a few months.
Will I have to go to Court?
No. You will not need to appear before a Judge, unless the other side raises an objection, or you fail to disclose involvement in a domestic violence incident or a child neglect proceeding.
How much does an uncontested divorce cost?
An uncontested divorce ranges between $1,500 to $3,000, including the filing fees, depending on the complexity, and whether you choose to expedite the process.
What documents do I need?
We recommend you have a copy of your marriage certificate, so that we can confirm dates of birth, the spelling of names, etc. Copies of your ids and proof of income can also be very helpful.
What can I expect during my initial consultation?
You can expect that we will evaluate whether your divorce qualifies as an uncontested divorce, and whether there are better options available for you.
