Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not an alternative. It is tough to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take considerably longer to finish.
