Uncontested Divorce

Some of the most frequent questions we hear relate to an Uncontested Divorce.  The questions are typically:

– How long will this take?

— Do I need an attorney?

-How much will this cost?

The answers to these questions depend upon several factors.  The most important factor is whether both spouses can agree on all material terms of the divorce.  When there is a complete agreement,  uncontested divorces can be completed in as little as sixty days.

Frequently, people will assume that an uncontested divorce is a simple matter they can do themselves.  As a result, there can be a temptation to use online family law forms.  This is often a mistake that can create long-lasting problems.  Also, the do-it-yourself route can result in frustrating delays after a Court rejects your documents.  At the Tadlock Law Office, we frequently are retained to repair the damage done using online forms.  It is not uncommon to see undisclosed assets that are never discovered until it is too late.

At the Tadlock Law Office, an uncontested divorce is typically completed based upon a flat fee since negotiations are not needed.  The cost of such a divorce, therefore, begins at $2,250.00.
