It’s very important to retain an Alabama divorce attorney to handle your case if you need a quick and easy divorce in Dekalb County, Alabama.

There are generally two ways to file divorce, uncontested or contested. An uncontested divorce is where both parties are in complete agreement and it is an easy and much cheaper way to get a divorce. Any other way you file divorce is called a contested divorce, since there are issues that the parties are not in agreement with at the time of filing.

Should you be looking into a contested divorce, then depending on your circumstances there’s a possibility of us quoting you a flat fee to represent you. The process for a contested divorce starts when one of you files a Complaint and has your spouse served. Once served, your spouse will have thirty days to file a response called an Answer. At that point, both sides can attempt to resolve their contested issues. Should the disagreements not be resolved, then the judge will decide these issues for both parties at a trial. For a contested divorce,  we invite you to give our Fort Payne divorce attorney a call today for more information.

If you and your spouse have no contested issues, then you may be able to get a cheap uncontested divorce. To get a cheap divorce in Fort Payne, you and your spouse must have already reached an agreement. Both spouses must have already reached an agreement concerning all marital issues prior to the divorce being filed to do an uncontested divorce in Fort Payne.  Although an uncontested divorce is a relatively simple process, a local divorce lawyer is necessary so that your documents can be prepared properly.

When you consult with our attorneys, they can help guide you as to where you need to file your divorce, since it depends on many different factors. Certain clauses and language are also required in your Settlement Agreement and other documents. So if you obtain divorce documents from an online document preparation company, instead of a local Alabama divorce attorney, there is a high chance that the required local language and clauses will not be in there.  Very often, failure to contain the correct language in the documents can cause a simple, no fault divorce to be dismissed.
