The divorce process can vary widely depending on the state in which you reside and the specific circumstances of the case. Generally, the process involves filing a petition for divorce, serving the petition on the other party, and then building a settlement agreement either by existing verbal agreement, negotiation, mediation or litigation. Each of those options is more expensive and frustrating than the prior option.
The length of a divorce case can vary depending on the state in which it is filed, the complexity of the case and the willingness of the parties to reach a settlement. In general, a divorce case can take anywhere from a few months to a year or more to resolve.
Once again, the cost of a divorce, just like the length of time it takes, can vary depending on the state in which it is filed, the complexity of the case and the hourly rate of the attorney. In general, a divorce can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
The grounds for divorce will vary depending on the state. In a few states, there are still fault-based grounds for divorce. You must claim and prove such grounds as adultery or cruelty. In most states, no-fault divorce is available. This generally means that the parties can simply clam that the marriage has broken down due to irreconcilable differences, which are claimed but do not have to be proved.
In an uncontested divorce, the parties are already in agreement on all issues, or are very close to that situation, at the time of filing the case at court. They don’t have to be smiling or happy, but they both realize the wisdom of reaching a sound and fair settlement between them instead of paying lawyers and mediators to get them into a settlement neither one may like.
If your case has disputed issues, a very high net marital estate value, complex legal, business, tax or estate issues or involves domestic violence or threats of domestic violence, do NOT treat your case as uncontested
In a contested divorce, the parties are unable to reach an agreement on the terms of the divorce, such as property division, child custody, and spousal support, or they have other case issues as listed above.
Child custody refers to the legal and physical care, custody and control of a minor child of the marriage. In most cases, the court will determine custody based on the best interests of the child, taking into account factors such as the child’s age, health, and relationship with each parent. The court will seek as much as possible to maintain continuing and frequent contact with each parent.
Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a payment made by one spouse to the other to support them during and/or after the divorce. The amount of spousal support is determined based on factors such as the length of the marriage, the income of each spouse, and the parties’ standard of living during the marriage.
Initially, your local 1-800-DIVORCE lawyer will engage with you in a case strategy session to pinpoint and discuss all known issues and problems. Your local 1-800-DIVORCE lawyer will work with you to understand your specific needs and goals in the case, and will provide personalized guidance and support to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Non-lawyer online divorce providers are NOT staffed by lawyers. They are not licensed or bonded. They get on-the-job training only! You will have no effective recourse should you be treated dishonestly or incompetently by an online provider.
Search for “online divorce problems” and you will have plenty to read. Many online providers are truly terrible. A few are downright fraudulent. If you get caught with a bad one, you will need a lawyer, and much more money, just to get your case sorted.
