Divorce (dissolution) involves more than ending a marriage. When children, support, property, and debt are involved, the court requires specific documents and supporting information so orders can be entered and enforced. Our divorce document preparation services are designed to help you present a clear, complete set of filings—reducing avoidable mistakes, delays, and unnecessary expense.

Most divorce cases fall into one of two practical paths: (1) cases where the parties are agreed or close to agreement, and (2) cases where the parties are not agreed, are contested, or require a formal response to documents that have been served. Start by choosing the path that matches your situation.

Agreed or Nearly Agreed Divorce

Choose this path if you and the other party are already in agreement, close to agreement, or want to start with a cooperative approach. This includes fully agreed divorces, “almost agreed” situations where only a few issues remain, and cases where you want documents drafted in a way that supports reaching an agreement without escalating conflict.

If you have children, agreement still must cover parenting plan and child support terms in addition to the divorce itself. If there are no children, agreement focuses on property, debts, and any spousal support terms.

Not Agreed or Contested Divorce

Choose this path if the divorce is not agreed, you expect disputes about key issues, or you have been served with divorce papers and need to respond. This path also applies when there are disagreements about parenting plan terms, child support, property division, debt allocation, or maintenance.

Contested cases are document-driven and timing matters. Clear, organized paperwork and a consistent set of requests can make a major difference in how efficiently the case moves through court and how effectively your position is presented.

If you are unsure which path fits your situation, call 206-471-1245 and we’ll help you identify the appropriate starting point.
