Bessemer Divorce Lawyer

Our Bessemer divorce lawyer can file your divorce whether it is uncontested or contested. An uncontested divorce is simpler and cheaper if you can do it. To do an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse have to be in complete agreement on all issues. If you are not in agreement on all issues, then we can file your contested divorce but to do so you will need a consultation first. At the consultation, our divorce attorney in Bessemer can quote you a retainer to begin your case.

Our Bessemer divorce lawyers are currently offering discounted flat fees for uncontested divorces in Jefferson County and throughout Central Alabama.

• $390 for an uncontested divorce without minor children
• $490 for an uncontested divorce with minor children

The uncontested divorce can require additional fees if there are paternity issues or complex matters such as splitting up a 401(k) or other retirement plan. There is also a filing fee that the county charges to file a divorce. This fee is different for every county. Give our Bessemer divorce lawyer a call today for more information about the filing fee in Jefferson County.

If an agreement has not been reached and you wish to get divorced, then you will likely need our Bessemer divorce lawyer to file a contested divorce for you.  This is where one party files for divorce and serves the other party.   A contested divorce continues until both parties either reach an agreement as to all contested issues or have a trial and let the judge in their case decide these issues for them. Our Bessemer divorce lawyer knows the local rules and can help you navigate the Court.
