Our package prices include full-service assistance with a divorce paralegal throughout your case. We prepare all required divorce documents based on the information you provide, file your documents with the Court, coordinate service of process when required, track all applicable waiting and response periods, assist with scheduling hearings when necessary, and deliver documents to your assigned Judge.
A court filing fee is required and varies depending on the county in which your case is filed. If you qualify, the filing fee may be deferred or waived by the Court. As part of our package pricing, we include an Acceptance of Service when applicable. If the other party refuses or fails to sign the Acceptance of Service, a process server will be required and is not included in the package fee.
If your divorce case involves minor children, the Court will require both parties to complete a parenting education class, which is ordered by the Court and is not included in our package price.

Summary consent decree divorces are a core part of our practice. We have extensive experience with this process and have successfully completed thousands of summary consent decree cases, allowing us to navigate the requirements efficiently and accurately.
The requirements:
That the parties are in complete agreement on all issues.
Both parties are willing to sign the required documents.
The benefits:
The documents to initiate and complete the case are prepared, signed and submitted at the same time.
Service is not required.
The required 60-day waiting period begins from the date of filing, not the date of service.
The court filing fee is less expensive than the combined separate court filing fee for each party.
Default Decree Process:
$650 court Filing Fee (Depending on County)
This process may be utilized when the parties cannot reach an agreement, the other party refuses to be involved in the process, or the Petitioner cannot locate the other party for service.
We complete this process by scheduling a virtual default hearing.
This process requires multiple steps. We assist you with the entire process until your case is complete.
Consent Decree:
$450 without Children
$550 with Children
Complete Cause by default or consent.
If the parties are not able to reach an agreement before filing, and later do reach an agreement during the process, they may utilize this process. This will require the Petitioner to initiate the case and the Respondent to be served.
This process may also be utilized if the parties have a covenant marriage and agree to dissolve their marriage.
Contested Divorce:
$650 without children
$750 with children
If the Respondent files a response after the Petitioner initiates the case and serves the Respondent, the case is considered a contested divorce. We can assist with contested divorces.
