However, both you and your spouse must have reached an agreement in order to file for an uncontested divorce.

The other spouse, once served, has a limited amount of time to respond and there will usually be hearings and other court proceedings. 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 such issues for them.
It is always cheaper and simpler to reach an agreement beforehand and file an uncontested divorce, but if that is not possible then call our Trussville divorce lawyers to discuss the contested divorce process in your county.

Divorce Attorneys in Trussville
Any other way you file for divorce that is not uncontested is known as a contested divorce. If you opt for a contested divorce, it is because no agreement was able to be reached between you and your spouse. This is the more complicated, slower route, which is why we often recommend an uncontested divorce whenever possible. Otherwise, this involves one spouse serving the other with an official Complaint. After this is done, that spouse gets their attorney involved to help them file a response. Hearings are then set, and a judge ultimately decides on your disagreements if the two of you cannot do so on your own.
For an experience contested divorce lawyer in Trussville to start working on your divorce, we can help. However, we do find it important to note that this type of divorce incurs significantly higher costs than an uncontested divorce. As do most divorce lawyers, we require a retainer for these services and our attorney will bill hourly based on how long it takes to complete.
Essentially, the more complicated your divorce and the longer it takes to resolve the issues within it, the more expensive it will be. To give our clients a ballpark amount, most contested divorces range start at thousands of dollars or more, again, depending on the level of complexity with the issues involved and how contested they will be. Important assets, businesses or minor children that were a result of the marriage are example of factors that would affect your retainer by making it more costly. There are, however, other factors involved in quoting you.
If you’re considering a divorce but need to find out how much it would cost, feel free to call our office. Our divorce attorneys will go over the details of your situation to come up with an estimate of how much your retainer would be.
