This is possible due to both of you having signed a written contractual agreement. There is nothing for a judge to decide since the two of you have already decided everything by agreement.

You can get a quick divorce since we prepared everything correctly and it has been signed by both parties.

Call our Shelby County uncontested divorce attorneys today on how the process works. To get it started, you just need to get us the questionnaire explaining what the agreement actually is. Then our uncontested divorce lawyer prepares the paperwork for everyone to sign and return to us to file.

Uncontested divorces are the quickest way to get divorced in Shelby County. All our divorce attorney does is to prepare the divorce paperwork for you and your spouse to sign. Once you sign it, then you return it to our local Calera divorce lawyer to file. When the documents are signed by both spouses and filed, then it is designated an uncontested divorce. Because there is an agreement signed by both parties filed with the Court, the judge just has to pull the agreement, review it, and sign your divorce decree. As long as the judge approves your agreement, then it should go through without any hearings. 

The Court will typically issue the decree in an uncontested divorce about a month or two after filing. However, depending on the county you file, and the judge assigned your case it could take a little longer. However, typically you cannot get divorced for at least thirty days from the filing date due to something called a cooling off period in Alabama. This waiting period is in place so that both parties have time to change their mind and reconcile before the decree is issued.

In Shelby County, you can sometimes get your divorce decree much quicker through something called an interlocutory decree. This is where the judge issues the Order the same week the divorce is filed, but it just says it does not take effect for thirty days from filing. Whether you get an interlocutory decree or not, reaching an agreement is the easiest way to get a quick divorce in Shelby County, Alabama. Filing a divorce with no agreement is called a contested divorce. Contested divorces in Shelby County take a very long time and can be very expensive to litigate. It is always cheaper and quicker to do an uncontested divorce if both parties can work together to reach an agreement.

Why are uncontested divorces so easy? They are simple because you and your spouse have already done the hard work of reaching an agreement, so all that is left is to sign the paperwork we prepare and file with the Court. As long as both of you are in complete agreement, then you can get an online divorce in Shelby County, Alabama.

Our local family law attorney will be the one to file your uncontested divorce online and monitor the progress of your case to get the decree entered. We realize that going through a divorce is difficult enough. Our online divorce attorneys in Shelby County will stay on top of your case to ensure it goes as swiftly and easily as possible.

Once the online divorce is filed, it usually takes about thirty days for you to be officially divorced without any court or hearings. This is because there is something in Alabama called a ‘cooling off’ period. Sometimes a judge will issue an interlocutory decree the day the divorce is filed but it won’t take effect for thirty days. Either way, it is much easier to do a divorce online without court than doing a contested divorce. Give us a call now for an easy online divorce in Shelby County, Alabama.
