Uncontested Divorce

Chicago Area Flat Fee Divorce Attorneys

Are you looking for a fair and amicable end to your marriage? Have you and your spouse worked together to negotiate a settlement?

Not every divorce needs to be a long, expensive and contested process. In many cases, parties work together to settle their all of their issues - without the assistance of lawyers, courts, or mediators. Under these circumstances, parties are looking for an attorney to help formalize the process through the courts - quickly and cost effectively.

Typically, one of the parties will hire Ciesla & Ciesla to prepare the paperwork necessary to obtain a divorce, which includes the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, Marital Settlement Agreement and Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage. Lawyers can not represent both spouses in a divorce. Your spouse will need to review and sign the documents. Then, once the documents are reviewed, signed off on, and filed, we will obtain a court date and appear with you to obtain entry of your divorce judgment.

With an uncontested divorce, the attorneys at Ciesla & Ciesla work hard to have your divorce completed within one month of receiving your signed Engagement Agreement.

If you and your spouse can communicate effectively and can work together to negotiate a settlement that is fair and reasonable - an uncontested divorce may be your best option. However, keep in mind that your case may involve certain complexities that require more complicated legal analysis and advice - some circumstances include cases that involve sophisticated tax planning, business succession planning, real estate transactions and children's issues. The attorneys at Ciesla & Ciesla can provide you with information and advice regarding your case, and the necessary steps to help you and your spouse move on to the next phase of your life.

The fees associated with an uncontested divorce depend upon the issues in your case and the complexity of the drafting. Contact our Northbrook law office. (hyperlink)
