Hi
I am planning to divorce. I have approached a few lawyers for the quote. None of the lawyer give me a formal quote except for 1 lawyer firm. They will draft a settlement to my husband. This is called simplified uncontested divorce.
If my husband contest the divorce then it will go to contested divorce. I have to pay the additional fee on top of the amount i have paid for the simplified uncontested divorce.
I got PPO against my husband. He has been quite violent to me. During the PPO, we went to court trial. I think for the divorce case, most likely my husband will contest.
Do you think it's worth to go through the procedure of simplified if knowing that my husband is more likely will contest? I am thinking that i will save the cost of simplified if i skip this procedure. Any advice on this? I am very confused now. Money wise, I have to plan it carefully. My husband has been unemployed for 3 years. I am the one who maintain sons age 19 and 13 years old. The latter is a special needs.
Please share your thoughts. Thank you.
