Frequently Asked Questions

Is a No-Court Divorce right for me?
A No-Court Divorce is right for you if you answer yes to the following questions:

1. You need a divorce only OR You need a divorce and orders on custody, child support, spousal support, and/or partition of community property.

2. If you need additional court orders, you and your spouse have come to or will come to agreements on all of the issues to be covered in the court orders. 

3. Your spouse will not file an objection to the divorce or set issues such as custody, child support, spousal support, and/or partition of community property for hearing.  

What if my spouse is not willing to agree to the terms of the Divorce?
Even if your spouse is unwilling to sign a waiver of service on your petition for divorce, Rotharmel Shanks, LLC can still obtain a judgment of divorce for you.  Our flat fee includes service through the sheriff/out-of-state service, if necessary.  It is not necessary for your spouse to sign the divorce paperwork if he/she is served by the sheriff/out-of-state service.
