Florence Divorce Attorneys

If you and your spouse are in complete agreement about all marital issues, then our Florence divorce lawyer should be able to get a quick and easy divorce in Florence, Alabama. Our Florence divorce attorneys are charging a low flat fee to handle your uncontested divorce.

If you are not in agreement, you will have to file a contested divorce. A contested divorce is where we file the divorce with no agreement and ask for a trial. To prepare for the trial, our experienced family law attorneys do a process called discovery whereby we exchanged evidence with the other side in preparation for trial. At trial, the evidence is presented to the judge by witnesses being examined and the judge makes their final decision.

An uncontested divorce is where the two of you negotiate on your own and come to an agreement without having attorneys negotiate for you. Then you just tell us what you have agreed to and our law firm prepares the paperwork and does the filing for you for a low flat fee, saving you thousand of dollars in attorney fees. If you are seeking a cheap divorce in Lauderdale County, Alabama, then give us a call today.

Once signed and properly executed you will need to mail the originals back to our office (along with the filing fee) and we will file your uncontested divorce with the Lauderdale County Circuit Court.

Once filed by our divorce lawyer, then because you have already signed an agreement and there are no contested issues the judge just has to sign your decree and there are usually not any hearings. We receive the divorce decree electronically (usually about a month or two after filing) and send it to you and your spouse. Many of the courts no longer send out paper originals in the mail but instead only send out the electronic copies.

If you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement  then you would have to file a contested divorce.

There are multiple court hearings and it can take a year or more in many cases to get a trial in front of the judge to resolve your contested issues.
