If a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed however a number of concerns need to be solved, a case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

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

How come my case doesn't qualify for your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce consists of issues such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
