Agreed divorce · flat fee
Agreed divorce, for one flat fee
An agreed divorce is one where both spouses sign the same papers: who keeps the house or the lease, how savings, debts and the cars are divided, and, if you have children, a parenting plan and support.
We represent one of you. We draft the marital dissolution agreement, prepare the sworn financial statements, file everything with the court in your county and follow the case to the final decree. Most of it happens over video calls and electronic signatures.
The fee is flat, and it is higher with minor children than without, because a parenting plan is a document of its own. The court's filing fee is separate.

Agreed divorce questions
How long does an agreed divorce take?
There's a waiting period set by law: longer when you have minor children. Most of our agreed cases finish within a few weeks after it ends, depending on the court's calendar.
What if my spouse won't sign?
Then the case isn't agreed yet. We can send a draft and a letter explaining it. If your spouse still won't sign, we'll tell you what a contested case would cost, or give you names of trial lawyers.
Can we divide a retirement account?
Yes. Many accounts need a separate court order to split. We'll tell you at the first meeting whether yours does; drafting that order is quoted on its own.
