Divorce doesn’t always need to be a difficult and expensive process. Many couples know that their marriage is over and are ready to move on. In fact, many married couples have already started new lives apart from each other, but just haven’t done the paperwork. For couples who want an amicable, simple dissolution, an uncontested divorce for a fixed, or “flat,” fee is ideal. San Antonio lawyers can quote a fixed price for preparing the paperwork, filing, and going to court to finalize.
Uncontested divorce lawyers deliver a fixed package of services with predictable expenses, court costs, and labor. Unlike contested dissolutions, where the lawyer never knows exactly how much work may be required, agreed divorces are efficient and consistent in what our clients need. As a result, when we handle these cases, our attorneys can offer a competitive, fixed price. Typically, flat-rate fees can be broken up into payments, too.
When two people agree to end their marriage and work together to settle their differences, dissolution can happen much faster. Although Texas requires a 60-day “cooling off” period before finalization, a San Antonio divorce attorney handling an uncontested dissolution can get your case finished as close to the 60-day mark as possible. If you and your spouse agree to the terms, then many formalities (and expenses), such as service of process, can be avoided. In San Antonio, our unique “presiding court” system also allows scheduling flexibility and ensures that judges are available nearly every workday. So, where a traditional dissolution of marriage can take a year or more, an uncontested dissolution will be much faster.
San Antonio uncontested divorce attorneys can give one party an option not to appear in court. For the client, the time in court can be minimized. In fact, the in-court process will take only minutes. In San Antonio, uncontested dissolution of marriage cases are often the first cases to be sent to a judge, while longer cases wait. Most importantly, the final decree will be exactly what you agreed to.
Uncontested divorces work when couples can communicate and agree:
Couples who can settle their differences between themselves regarding property, child custody, and child support are rewarded for being able to work things out. However, if one partner isn’t willing to be reasonable, then an uncontested dissolution may not be possible. If the marital estate is especially complicated, or there are any disagreements over child custody, then a traditional dissolution of marriage may be better. Uncontested divorce is a good option when
