A variety of cases are resolved 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 submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my situation doesn't qualify for your flat-fee package?

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 property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an alternative. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
