Skip The Fight, Keep Your Peace
When you and your spouse agree on the big things in divorce—property, bills, and parenting—you don’t need a courtroom battle. Uncontested divorce avoids the nightmare of drawn-out litigation, runaway fees, and months of anxiety. It’s the cleanest path to closure and peace of mind.
- Feeling overwhelmed by divorce forms and legal terms.
- Fearing a costly court fight and mounting bills.
- Worried about your kids and a stable routine.
- Afraid of delays that keep life stuck in limbo.
These are common, normal worries for divorcing families—and they’re exactly what an uncontested divorce process is built to reduce.
Divorce Attorney. Real Experience. Real Results.
I’ve lived in Northwest Arkansas for 16 years and grew up here. I know our courts, our judges, and our community. I bring passion, legal know-how, and steady experience to every case.
I’ve stood beside people from all walks of life. Every client matters to me. You get my full attention, clear answers, and respect—always.
I have a background in divorce law. That wider view helps me see your whole picture—kids, money, work, and safety—so I can build the plan that fits your life.

You deserve an attorney who treats your case with care and courage. I’m here to stand by your side and fight for what matters most.
How We Make It Easy
- Talk — Brief call to confirm Arkansas divorce eligibility, goals, and what “done” looks like. (Residency and timing rules apply.)
- Agree — We draft your settlement, parenting plan, and filings; you review in plain English and sign.
- File & Finalize — We submit to the proper circuit court and guide you to decree—by affidavit when allowed, or a short hearing if required.
Faster Finish, Fewer Headaches
When you and your spouse agree on the major terms, the law gives you a cleaner, faster path — and you should use it.
- You set the terms, not a judge. A marital settlement agreement puts the decisions where they belong — with you and your spouse, not a courtroom.
- Less time in court. Many agreed divorces are finalized by affidavit, with no live hearing required. We request the simplest option available in your county.
- A real timeline. Once we file, the 30-day waiting period begins. Most of our uncontested cases are fully finalized within 6–10 weeks of filing.
- Your kids get a plan, not a fight. We build a parenting plan around your family’s actual schedule — school, holidays, exchanges — drafted to hold up and easy for both parents to follow.
- No fault, no blame. You don’t have to air your marriage in court. An agreed divorce is about reaching a resolution, not assigning one.
What You Get When You Hire Us
Hiring us means one thing: we handle the legal work so you don’t have to figure it out as you go.
Marital Settlement Agreement — We draft the full agreement covering property division, debt allocation, and any other terms you and your spouse have agreed on. We write it in plain language you can actually read, then translate it into the court-ready format the judge needs.
Parenting Plan & Child Support Worksheet — If you have children, we build a parenting plan that covers the schedule, holiday splits, decision-making authority, and how you’ll handle changes down the road. We also prepare the Arkansas child support worksheet so the numbers are calculated correctly and the judge has nothing to send back.
Court Filing — We file everything with the correct circuit court, in the right county, with the right paperwork. A filing error at this step can restart your waiting period. We make sure it doesn’t happen.
Service or Waiver — We handle formal service on your spouse or obtain a waiver of service if they’re cooperating — whichever your situation calls for.
Hearing or Affidavit Coordination — Some judges finalize agreed divorces by affidavit, with no live hearing required. Others prefer a brief appearance. We request the simplest option available in your county and prepare you for exactly what to expect either way.
Updates Throughout — You won’t wonder what’s happening. We keep you informed at each step in plain English, not legal jargon.
When it’s done, you have a signed decree and a clear record of your agreement — nothing left open, nothing to revisit.
Frequently Asked Questions About Uncontested Divorce
How long does an uncontested divorce take?
With paperwork ready and no issues in dispute, the earliest finish is after the 30-day waiting period from filing. Court scheduling and review times vary, so plan for a few extra weeks.
Will we have to go to court?
Sometimes a brief hearing is required. Some judges accept agreed cases by affidavit or deposition instead of live testimony. We’ll request the simplest option available in your county.
Can we do this without divorce lawyers?
Arkansas offers self-help forms, but many couples still hire counsel to avoid mistakes and delays—especially with homes, retirement, or kids involved. We keep things collaborative and focused on your agreement. Most clients tell us the cost of hiring us was worth it the moment they realized they’d drafted their agreement correctly the first time — no do-overs, no amended filings, no delays.
