A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other official settlements.

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

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

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