What is a divorce decree?

A divorce decree is the final order granting a dissolution of marriage. There are a lot of hoops to jump through  between filing the petition and getting a decree, including preparing and exchanging financial statements and information, preparing separation agreements and parenting plans, etc. The fastest a decree can be issued is 91 days after you are served with the petition. We offer help with the forms (and getting you through the process as quickly as possible (and possibly limiting court appearances) on a flat fee basis. We also mediate, which can include document preparation) if you would like some assistance. I hope this helps.
