If you and your spouse have no contested issues, then you may be able to get a cheap divorce. To get a cheap divorce in Huntsville, you and your spouse must have reached an agreement.

To get one of our cheap divorces in Huntsville, both spouses must have already reached an agreement concerning all marital issues prior to the divorce being filed. Also, this is only for the attorney fees and does not include the filing fee that each court charges when a divorce is filed.  This filing fee can very greatly from county to county, with the filing fee in Madison County currently a little over $337 (which includes a small convenience fee for filing a divorce electronically).  This fee must be paid prior to us filling your uncontested divorce.Even in simple, uncontested divorce, it is important to retain a local divorce lawyer to prepare your documents. A local divorce attorney is needed since they are aware of the local requirements in your county.  Where you file your divorce depends on many factors, and once you have spoken with our attorney we can determine where it is most appropriate to file.There are also certain clauses and language that may be required in your Settlement Agreement and other documents.  This means that if you obtain divorce documents from an online document preparation company, instead of a local Huntsville divorce attorney, then their documents will not likely have the local language and clauses that are required by the Madison County judges. 

For example, in Madison County the Answer must contain very specific language that is not required in other counties across the state. Most of the time, not having the correct language in the Answer can cause a simple, no fault divorce to be dismissed.If you reside in Huntsville, Madison, Meridianville, Harvest, Hazel Green, or New Hope, then your divorce will likely be filed in the Madison County Circuit Court.

Once officially served, the spouse counters by hiring an attorney to represent them and to help them file a formal response. The following hearings are set and a then a judge decides the disagreements that you two could not resolve on your own.

At our firm, we’ll help you file a contested divorce and serve your spouse.

What you pay is dependent on how long it takes to resolve your marital issues in the divorce.

A ballpark amount for contested divorces is around $1500 to $5000 or more, depending on the complexity of the issues involved and how contested they are. Expect a higher amount when there are minor children involved, but there are other factors considered when quoting a retainer.
