A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official 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. All other cases are legally considered contested divorces.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be dealt with swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
