General Information About Divorce
What is Divorce?
Divorce is the termination of a marriage by a court order. The spouse who starts the divorce is called the plaintiff while the other spouse is called the defendant.
We specialize in uncontested divorces.
A divorce is uncontested if both spouse agree to divorce and agree on custody and visitation, finances and property after the divorce. Uncontested divorces usually take a few months.
The opposite of an uncontested divorce is a contested divorce and occurs if either spouse does not want to divorce or disagrees about the basis for the divorce, custody and visitation, financial and property disposition.
Our knowledge and experience prepares us to create the legal documents necessary for the courts to accept uncontested divorces. In the event the spouses can't agree on the grounds or the issues for divorce, you will need to consult an attorney for your uncontested divorce.
We offer uncontested divorces for a flat rate saving you a lot of money that you would spend if you had an attorney.
Divorce With Children
When married people with children get divorced, they have to resolve the issues of custody of the children, visitation with the children, child support for the children, health insurance for the children, and education and child care expenses for the children.
Divorce With Assets & Debts
When married people who jointly own assets or have joint debts want to get divorced, they need to agree on how they will divide their assets and who will be responsible for their debts.
What If My Spouse Won't Sign The Divorce Papers
If you file a divorce and your spouse is served with the divorce papers, your spouse will have a limited amount of time to appear and answer your complaint. If you spose fails to appear or answer, then you can proceed with your case because your spouse is in default and has not contested your complaint.
What If My Spouse Wants To Oppose The Divorce
If your spouse wants to oppose the divorce, the case becomes contested, and you and your spouse will have to appear in court and talk to a judge about your case. It is a good idea to hire an attorney to help you if your case is contested.
What If I Change My Mind
Sometimes spouses get mad at each other and file for divorce. Sometimes they make up and the marriage continues. If you start a case and want to end it, we can help you terminate your case so you can resume your life.
