If you and your spouse both agree that divorce is your best option, and you are able to communicate effectively with one another in order to resolve the important legal issues involved in your divorce, you are prime candidates for an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce requires that both husband and wife have discussed and settled issues such as custody, visitation, child support, property and debt division. If you and your spouse are able to resolve these issues yourselves without a court battle, you will avoid the high stress and high cost associated with a contested divorce.
To that end, I will be charging $600.00 for an uncontested divorce without minor children and real property and $750.00 with minor children and/or real property. My flat fee is based on the amount of time I have projected I will spend in meeting with you, preparing the necessary documents, filing the documents at court, and attending necessary court hearings. Please be aware that you are also responsible for paying the court filing fee, which is currently $187.30. If a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is necessary to divide a pension plan or retirement account, an additional $750.00 will be charged.
When I mentioned meeting with you, I did not necessarily mean we would need to meet in person. While I am happy to schedule an in-person consultation, many of my clients do not live in the immediate Tulsa area. For them, it is more convenient that we exchange information and documents either through normal mail or by using email and PDF attachments. In fact, I encourage all of my clients to use these communication methods in working with me on their case. This will not only save you time and travel, it will enable us to be in contact with each other on an almost daily basis. I will also provide you with updates on your case as things are happening so that you will know what stage your case is in at all times.
I represent individuals in uncontested divorces in the following counties in northeastern Oklahoma — Tulsa, Creek, Mayes, Muskogee, Okmulgee, Osage, Pawnee, Payne, Rogers, Wagoner, and Washington. If you believe that you are a candidate for an uncontested divorce, call me today for a free consultation. I can draft the necessary documents and guide you through the court process.
