How Much Will It Cost?

At Flat Fee Divorce Solutions, uncontested divorce cases without children start at just $1900. With children, it’s $2400. For other lawyers, price (and all those other questions) can be a tricky subject, especially since every divorce is different. Very few lawyers offer flat fee pricing, so they can’t provide a solid answer. Thankfully, you’ll be dealing with me.

How Long Do Cases Take?

Divorces can be long and drawn-out processes, but an uncontested divorce can be settled in as little as two weeks. The amount of time you spend on your divorce depends on everyone’s willingness to cooperate, and whether there are any major issues (such as parental allocation and visiting time) that may stand in the way of a quick resolution. If you and your ex can work together, the process can be quick and relatively painless.

Do I Have To Go To Court?

If you were the one who initiated the divorce, might have to come to Court with me. But, the good news is, keep many of my clients out of Court. In Illinois, you can get almost all the way through your divorce without setting foot in a courtroom, but if you petitioned for the divorce in the first place, if you have to show up at the final hearing – also known as the prove-up hearing – is usually very quick.

What Are The Rules For Child Custody In Illinois?

The first thing you should know about child custody in Illinois is it’s not actually called “child custody” anymore. Instead, the state of Illinois uses “parenting responsibility” and “parenting time”. Parenting responsibility is an umbrella term for all the important decision-making responsibilities you and your partner share to make sure your kids are getting raised right. And parenting time refers to the amount of time you and your ex may spend with your kids after the divorce. Parenting times can be as unique as your family.

What Should I Know About Mediation In Illinois?

Illinois does mediation a little differently than some other states. Family law lawyers do not attend mediation with their clients. But mediation is also a completely voluntary process in many cases, and the results of mediation are only a recommendation, rather than a concrete conclusion to your divorce proceedings.
