Uncontested Divorce Lawyers in Alabama
Whenever a divorce is started in the State of Alabama, it is usually designated as either an uncontested divorce or a contested divorce. Uncontested divorces in Alabama are sometimes called no-fault divorces and are generally the easiest way to get a simple and cheap divorce. It is where both spouses reach an agreement before anything is ever started in the courts. This agreement is then submitted at the beginning of the divorce, right when the case begins, to show that there are no unresolved or contested issues. Reaching an agreement before obtaining your attorney is the best way to get a quick and easy divorce, since all that the uncontested divorce lawyer has to do is prepare and be your paperwork.
The attorney’s fees in an uncontested divorce are almost always more affordable than doing a divorce without an agreement. This is because there are no contested issues for the uncontested divorce lawyer to litigate, allowing for a much simpler and inexpensive process. In an uncontested divorce, the necessary documents are typically prepared by a divorce lawyer in Montgomery, Huntsville, or anywhere else in Alabama. Once the documents are signed and properly executed, then they are recorded with the appropriate court. Since an agreement has been signed with all of the other documents, it is designated an uncontested divorce.
The Court will typically not sign the divorce decree for at least thirty days, but in an uncontested divorce, both spouses will usually be receiving their Final Decree of Divorce about a month or so after it starts usually (depending on the county you are in). Since you can receive your divorce decree about a month after it starts, without ever having to go to court, this is usually the simplest way for our uncontested divorce lawyer to get you divorced in Alabama.
There are typically no hearings or court dates in an Alabama uncontested divorce since an agreement has been reached concerning the division of marital assets, custody, and other such matters. Some counties have a different process for obtaining an uncontested divorce than others and each county can have its unique document requirements. However, our uncontested divorce lawyers handle hundreds of uncontested divorces every year in almost every part of the state and are familiar with the requirements necessary for you to receive a cheap divorce no matter where you.
In contrast to an uncontested or no-fault divorce, a contested divorce is when one spouse starts the divorce without an agreement having been reached. In response to this, the other spouse usually gets an uncontested divorce lawyer and responds by preparing a document called an Answer.
At this point, both spouses, through their respective divorce attorneys, will try to reach an agreement. Eventually, if no agreement can be reached, then both parties will go to trial (many months and in some cases well over a year later) and have a Judge decide such things for them as custody, visitation, and marital property division. The attorney fees in a contested proceeding are much higher than in an uncontested divorce, and the process usually takes longer since there are contested issues to be resolved.
