However, if you and your spouse are not in agreement and you need to get the process started, then our divorce attorneys can fight for you. We will file the divorce and have the other party served.

Our Tuscaloosa divorce attorneys start working with you to prepare for trial from the beginning so that you can have the best chance at getting the result you desire at the final hearing.

If you live in the Northport or Tuscaloosa area, then our Tuscaloosa divorce lawyer will likely be filing your divorce in the Circuit Court of Tuscaloosa County.  Tuscaloosa, like most other counties in Alabama, has their own unique requirements for uncontested divorce filings, which is why it is important that you obtain an attorney that is familiar with these local rules.

Our Tuscaloosa divorce lawyers can handle your uncontested divorce filing for you no matter where you live. An uncontested divorce is almost always the best way to obtain a cheap and easy divorce in Tuscaloosa County.  However, even in an uncontested divorce there are still local rules and procedures that are unique to Tuscaloosa County, which is why it is important to hire a family law attorney that is familiar with the local rules.

For example, a Transitions in Parenting course may be required in Tuscaloosa County if you have minor children of the marriage.  This is a parenting class that is to be taken by the parents in order for a decree to be entered by the court whether our divorce lawyer in Tuscaloosa is representing you or not.  This parenting course requirement can delay your case, even in a simple uncontested divorce, since it is only offered on certain dates. Our Tuscaloosa divorce lawyer can explain more about this parenting course requirement when you call today.

An uncontested divorce is the quickest way to get a divorce in Alabama. However, it is not always possible. If you and your spouse are not in agreement, then you need a divorce lawyer that advocates for your best interest. By pushing the opposing counsel to produce evidence to be used at trial and preparing for the final hearing from the start of the case, our divorce attorneys will put you in the best position to be successful at trial.

If you’re not able to come to a mutual agreement with your spouse, your next option would be a contested divorce in Tuscaloosa. This involves serving your spouse with an official Complaint. They then enlist the help of a Tuscaloosa divorce lawyer who will help them file a response. The subsequent hearings are then set, and the judge will ultimately decide your disagreements if the two of you cannot come to an agreement.

Should you need contested divorce services, our Tuscaloosa divorce lawyers can help. The attorney fees for this type of divorce are, however, significantly higher than an uncontested divorce. As do most other Tuscaloosa and Northport divorce lawyers, we require a retainer for contested divorce services. An hourly attorney fee is charged and since contested divorces take longer and are more labor intensive than uncontested, it will very likely be pricey.

Retainers for contested divorces generally are thousands of dollars but how much can depend on how difficult the issues involved are. While there are many factors that go into the retainer amount, having children involved in this type of divorce also contributes to higher prices.
