How do I get a divorce if my ex and I agree on everything?

Question

I need a cheap and fast way to get divorced!

Answer 1

In many states, couples who both consent to the divorce can submit what is called an uncontested/joint divorce petition. You can usually only do this if you agree on all aspects of the divorce such as martial property, support, and custody. Some states also allow you to get a divorce even if some issues are not in agreement. Some times it pays to get your divorce done by a Legal Document Preparer (LDP) and not a Lawyer. A LDP can usually do it cheaper because they only prepare the paper work and do not go to court. That is where lawyers charge you the most in court appearances. It could be a lawyer is padding his bill by wanting to make an appearance. To be fair your state may make it procedurally necessary to go in front of a judge even in a no contest situation as a safe guard against fraud or duress in the divorce process. It takes about 9 to 12 months to complete the process. It may pay to consult an attorney or go online to the National Association of Legal Document Preparers (NALDP) to find a LDP who may be able to answer your specific question.
