Divorce
Divorce can be an emotional time for everyone involved. Many couples prefer to end their marriage with an uncontested divorce. "Uncontested" means the couple can agree on all issues, for example, where children will live, how to divide assets and debts, and whether child support or alimony will be paid. An uncontested divorce can be filed quickly and economically, saving years in the court system and thousands in attorney's fees.
When a couple already agrees on how to end their marriage, JNJLAW prepares the necessary paperwork, including required parenting plans and child support worksheets. We give the guidance needed to get divorced with as little stress and expense as possible. We understand that many divorcing couples start with financial troubles. Moving from one household to two creates further strain. An uncontested divorce can be the quickest, easiest and least expensive way to part so everyone can move on with his or her life.
Even if you and your spouse disagree or are unsure of certain issues, you still have a good chance of filing for an uncontested divorce. With JNJLAW working for you, we can help you work out a plan that suits your needs. If you sign a settlement agreement, your divorce can be finalized in as little as five to eight weeks. An uncontested divorce also means that one spouse does not have to receive divorce papers by a local sheriff and you can both maintain your privacy.
We will draft all necessary documents and send them to you via e-mail (or fax), so that the time you need to spend on your proceedings may be limited to printing, signing and mailing. In many cases you do not have to appear in court but that depends on your local court procedures. If you must go to court for a final hearing, we will appear with you. As we handle your divorce, you are free to take care of yourself, your family, and your life.
