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

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.

Why doesn't my situation qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems 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 often not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be handled swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to finish.
