A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other formal settlements.

Why doesn't my divorce qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the dividing of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is most likely not a choice. It is difficult to forecast whether your case can be managed swiftly or if it will take significantly longer to complete.
