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

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 difficult to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
