Common questions

Good to know

Do I have to go to court?
Most clients never do. In the rare case you need to, Kaitlin tells you well ahead of time and walks you through it.
Does my spouse need a lawyer?
Kaitlin represents you. Your spouse doesn’t have to hire a lawyer to sign a waiver, but they can talk to one if they want.
What if my spouse won’t sign?
The divorce can still go ahead. The sheriff delivers the papers instead, which adds some time.
How long does it take?
If you’ve lived apart long enough and your spouse signs a waiver, as little as about 2 weeks. If you still need to wait out the time apart, longer.
What does it cost?
You see your price right after you send your answers. It includes court costs.Kaitlin goes over your price with you when she reviews your answers.

Your answers go straight to Kaitlin and are used only for your case.
