If you and your spouse have reached an agreement then you can get a cheap divorce in Talladega County by filing something called an uncontested divorce. To do an uncontested divorce you just pay our local Talladega divorce attorney a flat fee and we handle it all for you.
Once you pay the fee, then our divorce lawyer will get the paperwork to you for everyone to get signed, notarized, and returned to our office to be filed with the Court. All divorces are filed online now so we can file the cheap divorce in Talladega County or in any county in Alabama.
In addition to the attorney fee, there is also a filing fee that depends on where you live. This filing fee must be paid before we can file it for you since we actually have to pay it ourselves when the divorce is filed. Once the uncontested divorce is filed, the judge signs your divorce decree which orders both of you to follow your signed agreement and you are officially divorced. No court and no in-person appointments necessary.
Talladega County Cheap Divorces
The first step to getting a cheap divorce in Talladega County is to make sure that both parties are in complete agreement on all issues. That means you must agree on child support, custody, and even division of property. If there is something that is not addressed in your agreement, then the judge could issue something called a deficiency and make both of you address it.
If you do not address that issue in a Talladega County uncontested divorce, then the judge could schedule a hearing or dismiss the uncontested divorce altogether. This is why it is important that all issues are addressed properly, and the paperwork prepared by a local Alabama divorce lawyer so that you get the divorce completed as cheaply and easily as possible.
We are able to charge the cheaper attorney fee rate since we are just preparing your paperwork and, once you and your spouse have properly executed it, filing it with the Court and getting the decree to the judge to sign. If you cannot get the documents signed or your spouse is refusing to sign them, then getting a cheap and easy divorce in Alabama is not going to work and you will need to file something called a contested divorce. A contested divorce is where you file for divorce with no agreement signed and in writing.
Most Anniston divorce lawyers charge thousands of dollars in something called a retainer just to begin the process, since it can last a long time depending on the issues involved.
