OVERLAND PARK,KANSAS UNCONTESTED DIVORCE

If you and your spouse agreed to go your separate ways, even on amicable terms, you still may need an attorney. You may be able to file this without counsel. However, if any of the following apply to you, you may still need to hire a lawyer:
  • Children are part of the marriage (child support, child custody, visitation establishment necessary, etc.);
  • Property requires division (ex. house, cars, bank accounts, retirement, etc.);
  • Shared debt;
  • Bankruptcy has been filed or is needed;
  • Alimony calculation is required;
  • Name change requests; 
  • Military;
  • Annulment instead of divorce;
  • Divorce is necessary a reason other than incompatibility (i.e. failure to perform a marital duty, incompatibility by reason of mental illness or mental incapacity of one or both spouses).
Oftentimes clients hire attorneys to speed up the process. Although there is a 60 day "cool off" period for all filers, those who self-file frequently delay their divorce because of errors in the initial filing. Having an attorney review, discuss your circumstances, and file is the most expeditious way to divorce.
