My uncontested divorce document package costs $750.00 plus taxes.

Other costs you may pay (not to me):
Court filing fee $200.00;
Marriage Certificate: $30.00 - $95.00
Process server/service costs (if required)
Commissioning/Notary (if required)

In addition to my flat fee, you will need to pay court filing fees of $200.00 at the time you register your Petition for Divorce.
You may have additional costs, for example, ordering a marriage certificate or paying to have a document served, based on your circumstances.
-
Timelines vary, but uncontested divorces typically take several months from the time documents are filed until the divorce is finalized. I’ll tell you what to expect based on your situation and the stage you’re at.
-
In most uncontested divorces, no, you will not have to appear in court. Documents are filed in the courthouse, but you will not be before a judge. The process is primarily paperwork-based.
-
This package is best if your divorce is uncontested, meaning you and your spouse are in agreement and you’re looking for help with the documents and steps to finalize it. If there are disputes or your situation is complicated, you may need different legal help.
-
If you can’t locate your spouse or can’t complete service in the usual way, your divorce may require additional steps and this package may not be the best fit on its own. If that happens, I’ll let you know what your options are.
-
My uncontested divorce package includes review of your intake form and supporting documents, preparation of all required divorce documents, and clear step-by-step instructions for signing, serving, and filing everything with the Manitoba Court of King’s Bench.
