Birmingham, Alabama, Attorney for Uncontested Divorce
Divorce is a major emotional challenge, but depending on your circumstances, it does not have to be drawn-out or extremely expensive. In Alabama, it is not necessary to prove anyone is at fault for the breakup, and your divorce can become effective as soon as 30 days after the complaint is filed.
Once you and your divorcing spouse reach agreement on all issues to be settled — either on your own, through negotiations between your lawyers, or in mediation — you can obtain an uncontested divorce. In almost all situations, however, it is best to have an experienced family law attorney make sure your personal interests are protected. Contact us to learn more.
We Know Many Approaches and Techniques for Avoiding a Long, Bitter Divorce
Only a small percentage of Alabama divorce cases remain contested and go all the way to trial. When they do, the expense is very significant, and putting major decisions in the hands of a judge can have disappointing consequences for both parties. An important goal for most people is to resolve any issues and move forward with the uncontested divorce.
There are many scenarios we can help you with, including:
- You have no children and limited assets, but need help navigating the legal process to obtain an uncontested divorce
- You have reached basic agreement on all key issues, such as a child custody and visitation arrangement and division of property, but you need professional guidance on the details, legalities, forms and process
- Disputes over certain issues still must be resolved, but you want to try everything within reason to reach an agreement out of court
