A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation phase or through other official negotiations.

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an option. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
