Uncontested Divorce

Even when uncontested, it is important to have a competent, qualified and exprienced attorney represent your interests in a divorce.  There are many consequences to your (and your children's) future that will be affected by the choices you make during this time, often in ways you might not have anticipated.  It doesn't have to be a tremendous expense, but in many circumstances it is a "pay now or pay later" decision.  The "pay later" can be many times the expense in money, and even more in headache, heartache, and unexpected restrictions on your ability to choose the progress of your life.

Many attorneys will "flat fee" a truly uncontested divorce.  In today's landscape, this should represent between 4 and 6 hours of attorney time to provide the care and attention to asset division, alimony, child support, custody arrangements, living arrangements, and other necessary planning.  Attorneys charging substantially less than this expect to put substantially less work into your case.

Bear in mind that your divorce is the beginning of your new life, and a new beginning for your family.  Doing the work now to forge your divorce so as to serve as a reliable foundation for your future is a wise investment.
