Your Easy Flat-Fee, Uncontested Divorce Option
Divorce Can Be a Complicated Process.
We Make It Simple, Fast, and Affordable.
It’s been a year (or longer) since you separated from your spouse, and you’re ready to finalize your divorce.
Maybe you’ve considered handling the divorce yourself only to find that the process is too complicated or that you don’t have the time or know-how to get it done. But maybe you worry that hiring an attorney to handle your divorce is too expensive.
If that describes you, you’re in the right place.
Our flat-fee uncontested divorce service is simple, fast, and affordable.
It’s simple. You complete the online form, sign and return the documents prepared by our attorney, and we handle the rest.
It’s fast. We finalize most divorces within 6 to 8 weeks.
It’s affordable. Our attorney charges a flat fee of $995, which includes your $225 filing fee. We also offer a “Pay Later” option, which allows you to pay the flat fee in installments.

Why Hire Our Firm to Handle Your Uncontested Divorce?
In the past 17 years, we have helped thousands of people finalize their divorce.
Trying to handle your divorce by yourself can be frustrating and time-consuming. You’ll need to draft and file all the appropriate paperwork, make sure your spouse is served correctly, file the notice of hearing at the right time, and go in front of a judge to finalize the divorce. A mistake anywhere along the way can stall the process and cost you more time and money to fix the error.
But if you’re good at figuring things out and have the time, you can do this on your own.
In fact, this North Carolina Divorce Packet prepared by the North Carolina Equal Access to Justice Commission walks you through every step of the process. This 51-page document has everything you need to handle your divorce.
However, if you would rather save yourself the headache of trying to do it yourself, we are here for you.
With our flat-fee, uncontested divorce service, we take care of everything for you.

Note: Our flat-fee, uncontested divorce service only covers your divorce. It does not include representation for equitable distribution, alimony, child custody, or child support. If you have those issues or are unsure if you have them, please contact us to schedule a consultation. Understand that the entry of a divorce judgment will terminate any claims you may have to post-separation support, alimony, and equitable distribution. If you have not settled these claims in a separation agreement or properly filed them with the court before the judgment of divorce, then you lose the right to make any of those claims. Our flat fee does not cover service by sheriff or service by publication. If service by sheriff or publication is needed, there will be additional costs. If your spouse is in the military or lives outside the United States, or their address is unknown to you, contact us before completing the online form as there may be additional charges.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a no fault or uncontested divorce?
Some states require divorcing spouses to prove fault before granting a divorce. North Carolina is a “no-fault” divorce state. That means that neither party has to prove fault to obtain a divorce in North Carolina. To be granted a divorce (called an “absolute divorce” in North Carolina; some states call this a “dissolution of marriage decree”), spouses need only to have been separated for one year.
An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which the spouses agree on the date of separation, do not have property claims or alimony claims, or such claims have already been resolved in a separation agreement.
If both spouses agree on the date of separation and have no property or alimony issues (or have already resolved those issues in a separation agreement), the uncontested divorce service (absolute divorce) we offer here is an inexpensive and hassle-free option for obtaining a divorce.
Am I eligible for the flat-fee, uncontested divorce service?
If you have been separated from your spouse for at least one year and if either you or your spouse has lived in North Carolina for the past six months, then you are eligible for our flat-fee, uncontested divorce service.
Can I do it myself, or do I have to use an attorney?
Yes, you can handle your divorce yourself. You don’t have to use an attorney. This North Carolina Divorce Packet prepared by the North Carolina Equal Access to Justice Commission walks you through every step of the process. This 51-page document has everything you need to handle your divorce.
If you’d rather avoid the hassle of doing it yourself, we are happy to carry the load for you.
How long will this take?
If you use our flat-fee, uncontested divorce service, we typically can get you divorced within 6 to 8 weeks.
How much does your flat-fee, uncontested divorce service cost?

What is the process for an uncontested divorce?
- Complete the online divorce form and pay the flat fee online;
- Review the divorce paperwork that we send to you within two business days of completing the online form;

- We will file the divorce papers with the court and serve your spouse;
- Once served, your spouse will have 30 days to file an answer. In most cases, no one files an answer.
- At the end of those 30 days, we will file the appropriate motion to get you divorced, and you should be divorced within 10 to 15 days.
- From start to finish, the typical divorce takes 6 to 8 weeks.
Mr. Brooks answered all my questions with no hesitation and was very straightforward with the whole process. For what it costs, you can not beat it. Thanks for the quick turnaround on my divorce. ~ Jerome
