Frequently Asked Questions
Can you prepare divorce papers if we both agree?
Yes — this is called an uncontested divorce, and it's our most common family law service. If you and your spouse agree on property division, support, and custody arrangements, we prepare all the paperwork you need to finalize your divorce without attorneys.
What if there are children involved?
We prepare all documents related to child custody, visitation, and support. You and the other parent will need to agree on the parenting plan — we prepare the forms based on your agreement.
How much does divorce document preparation cost?
Our fees are a flat rate, significantly less than hiring an attorney. The exact price depends on the complexity of your case — contact your local office for a specific quote.
