UNCONTESTED DIVORCE $1125
(with no property and no children)**
|
[All papers are prepared and filed by an experienced attorney]
What is an Uncontested Divorce?
A divorce is uncontested when both spouses reach an agreement with respect to all financial and divorce-related issues (e.g. grounds for divorce, child custody, child support, visitation, value and distribution of marital assets, allocation of marital debt, and spousal support). Both spouses must agree to the divorce.
Clients often believe that their divorce will be uncontested, but later learn that the other spouse does not consent to a resolution of all of the issues. If you believe that your divorce will be uncontested, please feel free to contact the Law Offices of John H. O'Donnell to schedule a free initial consultation.
Many divorcing couples try to reduce the cost of divorce by using the services of non-attorneys, such as those found on the internet. These couples often find that they must do most of the work themselves. After spending money, and a great deal of time, they may then seek the services of an experienced attorney.
John O'Donnell is an experienced attorney. He has been practicing law since 1994 and is thoroughly familiar with the divorce process and divorce-related issues. His total fee for preparing and filing your uncontested divorce papers is $1125 (with no property and no children).** There is no better way to save precious dollars, and receive quality legal services at the same time.
The entire uncontested divorce process usually takes between 1 to 3 months, depending upon the court's caseload. Once Mr. O'Donnell has been retained, he will begin preparing the necessary papers. After the papers have been completed, Mr. O'Donnell will file them with the court. At this point it is simply a matter of waiting for a judge to sign the Judgment of Divorce.
*Court Filing Fees and Other Information About Fees
Divorce actions must be brought in New York State Supreme Court. The court requires payment of between $335 and $370 in fees, depending upon the county where the divorce action is filed. These court costs are included in Mr. O'Donnell's fee, so the total cost of your uncontested divorce will be $1125 (with no property and no children).**
**If you have children under the age of 21 years, and you do not have property to distribute, the total fee will be $1275. In the event that you have property to distribute, please schedule your free initial consultation with Mr. O'Donnell so that he may provide you with an estimate of the total fee. In most cases, the total fee will not be significantly higher than the uncontested divorce fees indicated on this page.
