Common Questions

Things people often ask us

How long does a friendly Mutual Divorce take?+
If you agree on everything, it usually takes 3 to 6 months after filing. It's very straightforward with no messy trials.
What if my spouse refuses to sign?+
That's okay. We can use a "Single Petition". We help show the court the marriage has broken down, allowing the judge to grant a divorce anyway.
Can I divorce if married under 2 years?+
Yes, but it's harder. We must ask the court for special permission by showing extreme hardship. We can chat to see if you qualify.
How does a judge decide who gets the kids?+
The judge only cares about the child's safety and best interests. They look at daily routines, who cares for them, and occasionally ask older children what they want.
Is everything split 50/50 automatically?+
Not necessarily. The judge aims for fairness, considering who paid for what, but also gives heavy credit for raising children or managing the home.
If I fill out the form, are you my lawyers?+
No. The form just helps us see how to assist. We only become your lawyers when you're ready and we both sign a clear agreement.
