SERVICES OFFERED

 UNCONTESTED DIVORCE

  1. Uncontested Divorce - $895.00.   This price includes all government filing fees for the divorce papers (see list of included fees below).  I prepare and file all the paperwork.  No  court appearance required.  You just sign and wait for me to send you the signed divorce judgment. 
  2. Separation Agreement - $450.00.  If you know that you and your spouse agree on getting a divorce but you still have unresolved issues, such as child custody and support (not already determined in Family Court), equitable distribution of marital assets or alimony, a separation agreement is highly recommended (and in some cases absolutely necessary) to resolve these issues.  Feel free to call or e-mail for a free initial consultation to determine what is right for you.
  3. Quitclaim Deed - $100.00.  If you and your spouse own real property jointly and one of you is giving the property to the other, a deed will need to be prepared and filed with the County Clerk in the County where the property is located to transfer the property.  The cost of recording fees are not included in this price and vary by county.
