The first step in getting divorced is determining how best to proceed. You'll work together with your attorney and team to define realistic goals, formulate a strategy, gather, prepare, and file documents, and navigate the court system..

Every divorce proceeding is different. An uncontested divorce, where both parties quickly agree to terms, can be settled in as little as a few months. If your situation is more complicated, the process can take longer. At Marble, we might suggest options like mediation to help you cut down on the time (and money) it takes to move forward.

A divorce decree is a document that represents the final judgment from the court, containing specific details about your case and agreement.

Unfortunately, getting a divorce can add up. The average cost of a divorce in most states is about $15,000—but you’ll find quite a range in pricing depending on your situation. With an uncontested divorce, you might be able to spend as little as $5,000.

Marble can help cut down on costs by ensuring you only pay for the parts of your legal journey you absolutely need - no large upfront retainers and no fees per email, text, or update. Plus, always know the price for each service in your case before your lawyer gets started.

An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree on all the terms of your divorce, often eliminating the need to go to court. While a judge will still have to approve your divorce, it costs a lot less to avoid litigation.
