Q: How much would a divorce cost,There are children but we have already took care of that part, and she is willing to sign
A:
As long as you have: 1) been physically separated (not living together) from your spouse for at least one year AND
2) either you OR your spouse has resided in North Carolina for at least the last 6 months, you are likely eligible to file for divorce in North Carolina.
Also, if you meet those requirements, you are entitled to the divorce as a matter of law - meaning there is nothing your spouse can legally do to prevent it.
The normal process takes from 45 to 60 days to complete. However, if your spouse is cooperative with you and is willing to sign a Waiver, the divorce can be completed quicker in 30 to 45 days.
You would NOT need to attend court or travel to our office. You can do most everything from home. The total fee is $395 which covers everything needed for a standard uncontested divorce. If you are interested in having the process done quicker AND your spouse is willing, there is an additional fee of $100 for expedited service with the Waiver for a total of $495. As far as we know, these fees are the most affordable in the entire state of North Carolina. However, if you are ever quoted a lower fee, just let us know and we will beat it!
You can get started immediately by going to our web site and filling out our easy Divorce Interview Form (takes about 5 - 10 minutes). www.easyncdivorce.com
Once you have submitted the form, we will prepare a personalized Divorce Complaint and send it to you by e-mail for you to review, sign in front of a notary and return to us. Once you have done that, your involvement is done and we will handle everything else - yes, it is that easy! This is often less expensive and far less stress than attempting to do your own divorce or using 'divorce form' services like Legal Zoom, Complete Case, etc.
If you have not yet actually physically separated - you may want to consider having our firm draft a formal written Separation Agreement to resolve all marital issues prior to your divorce.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us - we are happy to help you!
