Can I get a Quote?
Due to the nature of what we do, it is nearly impossible for us to give you a quote on a matter which is to be litigated, because we cannot foresee the future and what services you might require during the litigation process. However, we do provide you with our fee structure so you may know what we charge for services.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Divorce?
Depending on whether your divorce matter is opposed (defended) or unopposed (undefended) a divorce matter may be finalized between 6 weeks but can take up to 5 years or more depending on a lot of factors such what marital property system governs your marriage as well as child custody and maintenance etc.
The sooner the parties ca come to an agreement on the division of their estate(s) and the custody of the children and with regards to spousal and child maintenance, the sooner the matter will be finalized.
The duration of the process mostly depends on the parties to the divorce although the courts may take up to 8 weeks to finalize the matter even if all these above mentioned issues are settled.
