Uncontested Divorce: Frequently Asked Questions

Uncontested Divorce Basics
An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses agree on all the key terms — property, debts, and any child custody and support. Because there is nothing to fight over in court, it is the fastest, calmest, and most affordable way to divorce, and it is well suited to a flat fee.
You generally qualify if you and your spouse agree to divorce and can agree on the major issues, and your spouse is willing to cooperate with the paperwork. Not sure? Start your free consultation and a licensed attorney in your area will confirm whether your situation qualifies.
You are not legally required to hire one, but a licensed attorney makes sure your paperwork is done correctly and your agreement is actually enforceable — preventing mistakes that can be impossible to fix later. That is exactly what we connect you with, at a flat fee.
Cases with minor children include extra orders — custody, a possession/visitation schedule, and child support — so they take a little more work than a no-children case. Both are still fully uncontested when you agree on the terms.
Cost & Timing
Flat fees vary by state and case complexity, but an agreed divorce costs far less than a contested one. The attorney you are matched with quotes a transparent flat fee up front — no hourly billing and no surprises — plus court filing fees billed at cost. See attorneys in your state for your exact quote.
Hourly billing charges you for every call, email, and revision, and a contested case can run into tens of thousands of dollars. Because an uncontested case is predictable, a flat fee covers the whole matter for one price — so more of your money stays with your family.
It depends mostly on your state's mandatory waiting period. Once both spouses have signed, your attorney works to finalize as quickly as your state allows — often a few weeks to a couple of months.
Court filing fees are charged by the county court, separate from the attorney's fee, and typically run a few hundred dollars. They are billed at cost and disclosed to you up front.

Your Situation
In most uncontested cases little or no court time is required, and many are handled remotely. Your matched attorney will tell you exactly what your state and county require.
If you disagree on major terms your case is contested and follows a different path. Start your request anyway — the attorney can review your situation during the free consultation and advise you on next steps, including mediation.
Property and retirement can still be handled in an uncontested divorce when you agree on how to divide them. The attorney prepares the necessary deeds or retirement orders as part of your case; complexity may affect the flat fee.
Yes. A name change can be included in the divorce decree at no extra court step in most states — just let your attorney know during the consultation.
