Do You Need a Lawyer to Get Divorced?

Divorce doesn't have to be a lengthy and expensive process.  I represent clients who want to have an uncontested divorce with minimal or no attorney involvement.

Since Alabama offers no-fault divorce, there is no need to create issues where none exist.  I will help you get divorced quickly, economically, and without the emotional distress that can come from a contested divorce when the circumstances indicate that is in your best interest as my client.

What is an Uncontested Divorce?

If you and your spouse have agreed how to divide marital assets and debts, and have worked out a parenting plan for your children, you may not need two attorneys . In this situation, I can facilitate an uncontested divorce on a flat-fee basis.  While ethically I can only represent only party, if everything is agreed upon, I can facilitate the paperwork and court filings necessary to obtain a divorce.

Even if you and your spouse are in agreement now, you still need to put your agreement in writing so that both sides will honor that agreement in the future. A parenting plan needs to spell out child custody, visitation and support rights, since those issues could be difficult and costly to resolve later if you have a dispute.

It is rare to find spouses who can agree on every aspect of divorce. By asking you questions, I can help determine if you have thought of the issues that need to be resolved.
