Mr. Calder is providing unbundled document preparation services only and does not represent either party. It is your responsibility to obtain independent legal advice if you have any questions about the substantive law or your rights. This process is intended for simple cases only and is not suitable for individual legal representation in appropriate cases. The fees are “flat fees,” not time-based, so they will not be higher than stated unless you request additional services or changes to the paperwork after it is completed, in which cases, a modest revision fee will apply. Fees are considered earned and non-refundable once your paperwork has been prepared regardless of reconciliation of the parties, a party’s refusal to sign the papers, or abandonment of the case.

If Wife is having her former name restored, it will be necessary for her to have the final Decree certified by the clerk of the court after the case is concluded. That must be done by Wife in person or by mail and there is a modest fee charged by the clerk. We do not do that.

It is the parties’ responsibility to prepare, sign, and record any real estate deeds. Likewise, any car titles. We do not do deeds or car titles unless special arrangements are made in advance for additional cost.
