      More than two decades of successful, affordable uncontested divorce services

      Multiple benefits to uncontested divorce

      New York uncontested divorce guarantees parties a greater degree of confidentiality because the details of the parties’ finances and private lives are not aired before the court. Although the divorce papers are still filed records, the disclosures and negotiations shared between the parties during their preparation of the agreement are confidential between the parties. Parents who negotiate an uncontested divorce tend to have an easier time raising their children later on because they have not engaged in the mud-slinging inherent in contested cases. The process of New York uncontested divorce works well for parties who are relatively amicable. If you are unable to communicate constructively with your spouse, uncontested divorce is likely not for you.

      Frequently Asked Uncontested Divorce Questions

      An uncontested divorce in New York typically costs significantly less than a contested divorce, with attorney fees often ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on complexity.

The total cost depends on whether you need help with settlement agreements, property division, or child custody arrangements.
