Salvado 301-933-1814   703-379-9446

What type of divorce situation are you facing?  Most people are not sure or do not know where they stand when calling the attorney's office.  Here is some help:

If the served party does not oppose to signing the divorce, then it will most likely be an uncontested divorce.

 If the parties are unable to agree on some or all issues, the case is considered contested and the unresolved issues must be resolved by the court. The case is considered uncontested if the parties are able to cooperate and agree on all issues outside of court by submitting the necessary signed paperwork for the court's signature.

Always consult with a divorce attorney before signing, even if you can't wait to do so. Problems may come up in the future that might not have been foreseen at the time of signing.
