Angela and her team were great! They were very attentive to my questions (I had a lot of them!) and not once did they act annoyed or bothered by me. My paperwork was thorough and instructions were clear, and when the judge asked for changes to the paperwork, Angela and her team revised and sent me the new paperwork in a timely manner. Thank you for your help, definitely recommend!

It's a great way to file for a divorce if you both come to an agreement. And want to do it fast. Everyone was so nice and they clearly explained the steps for filing for a divorce. And the prices and they even had a lawyer who is cheaper than the private ones.

Great people here. Heather helped me and my ex wife tremendously with navigating our way through our divorce. I highly recommend using them.

Dawn McNutt

00:47 09 Sep 21

I'm not through the entire process yet, but Heather Nuzum is making this so EASY. Her business card says "Divorce Guru" and that fits. She answers texts during and after hours even though I didn't expect her to and she makes you feel relaxed and is easy to talk to. This is so much better than those online fill in forms - she can add personal touches and wording to craft an agreement you desire. I looked at all those online things and most you can't even EDIT later. This company's approach is not the run of the mill cookie cutter experience and is less expensive than an attorney. I highly recommend you ask for Heather if you need an uncontested divorce.

I went through this company and I have to say it was so easy and affordable for me! I got married super young and divorced at 21 and for people my age we do NOT want to pay an attorney $1k + to get started. That is what I was going to do originally until I came upon this company. They told me that a typical divorce can end up costing $6k +!!!Express is extremely fast with the process and super awesome people. They will be there for your every need and walk you through the whole process and you could easily get a divorce in less than a month without children!I will recommend this service to anyone who is needing an affordable way out!Also if you and your partner do not have an agreement they have a mediator who can do mediation for you and help you get on the same page. If there is still no agreement there is an attorney in the office who is super affordable and can do payment plans.Such a family oriented environment!❤️❤️

Super easy and fast. Having all the paperwork organized into simple steps made the process much less difficult and it was great saving thousands by not needing a lawyer! Zenna was very helpful!

Melissa Van Ranken

16:03 20 May 20

Zenna has been so amazing to work with. I was so overwhelmed to take the first step in the divorce process and didn’t really want to be doing it in the first place. I called and Zenna put me at ease, went through the very concise steps, asked all of the important questions and gave me the tools I needed to get mine and my girls lives started in a healthier direction. I highly recommend at least starting with mediation. My divorce just finalized two days ago and Zenna made all of the logistics very clear when the rest of my life felt so messy.

Danny Villa

19:36 18 May 20

I am still in the process, but I am so excited to finally get this divorce taken care of. Zenna and her amazing helper Oscar, have gone above and beyond with making the process so very easy. She has literally had to hold my hand the entire way, because I am so afraid to make a mistake. Being greeted by Oscar (the cutes and most politis 🐕) every time I walk in the front door, has definitely been one of the highlights of visiting the office.Zenna, thank you for always having a friendly smile and always being so eager to help me. I would, and already have recommended Zeena and her team in Moore.

Joanna Matos

14:26 26 Mar 20

Unfortunately, I had to use their services recently, but they were awesome! Cost was very affordable, Angela was super compassionate and knowledgeable. The process was very quick, I had contact with her anytime I had questions about the papers or the process etc. If your divorce will be simple and uncontested, then I highly recommend Express Documents!

Zenna, you made the process so flawless and easy for me. The instructions you provided were very easy. The trip to the courthouse was actually not that intimidating. I appreciate all your all your help.

18:52 05 Mar 20

Angela was very professional and explained the paperwork and procedures. She also gave me complete written instructions with my paperwork for each step. I’m sure it saved me thousands of dollars I would have paid a lawyer and all I had to do was get paperwork signed and take it to the courthouse. It is already a stressful time getting a divorce and Angela helped relieve a lot of that stress by saving me lots of money and helping me through the process. I’m truly grateful.

Jessica Wolf

22:11 26 Feb 20

I give them a five star.because if it wasn't for them and the quickness to get me my paper work and for the steps I needed to take I wouldn't b sitting here with this sense of relief and the stress that has been lifted off my shoulders I can't be more pleased with this company then i am right now. They were able to give me the answers I needed and the quick response I'm getting this divorce with no problems it took a little longer than expected because I didn't know where ex has been but the judge signed off today and I'm very excited so I highly recommend this company if anybody is needing a divorce to some extent when it comes to a situation like this thank you guys again I will spread the word

William Tidwell

00:49 02 Feb 20

Zenna was extremely helpful, very pleasant, and personable she made sure that everything was extremely easy to follow. When we had a question she returned our phone call quickly not to mention gave us her cell phone number for last minute questions. I would recommend her to anyone I know that is in this unfortunate situation.

Megan Nicole

18:55 22 Jan 20

Angela made my divorce so easy and uncomplicated. I had enough to deal with besides the paperwork, but they took care of everything. With a short phone call, she had all the info she needed and I got my paperwork in the mail in 2 business days. After that, Angela was just a call or text away for every little question I had and I'm the kind of person who has lots of questions when it comes to important stuff like this. She answered every question quickly. A divorce can be so stressful, but I'm so thankful I used this service. It was well worth the money and I would recommend them to anyone I know!

Things to Consider When Getting a Divorce in Tulsa

In the event of a collapse of a marriage and a separation becomes inevitable, undergoing a prolonged and agonizing divorce process may not be in the interest of the family members. In such circumstances, an uncontested divorce is an ideal way to save the family from pain and costs of a lengthy legal battle. For purposes of education, this article focuses on discussing the benefits of an uncontested divorce vs. battling with lawyers. Keep reading on to make an informed decision, whether or not it is worth contesting a divorce in court.

What is an uncontested divorce in Tulsa?

An uncontested divorce in Tulsa Oklahoma is an agreement between both spouses to break up without undergoing a long legal battle in court. The reasons for divorce may vary from one state to another, but common grounds for uncontested divorce in Oklahoma usually fall under irreconcilable incompatibility. If the parties cannot agree on an uncontested divorce, the parties can still utilize Express Documents and Mediation of Tulsa to mediate any outstanding disputes or disagreements.

How it works

In most cases, an uncontested divorce agreement often includes issues such as the following.

v Child support, custody, and visitation, where they are relevant

v Division of marital property and assets, where applicable

v Spousal support, including amount, terms as well as duration, if applicable. (note: Express Documents and Mediation, Inc. only includes alimony or spousal support if both parties agree to alimony or spousal support)

In many circumstances, the court will only grant an uncontested divorce if the disputing spouses have agreed to all conditions surrounding the divorce. The parties must agree on a division of marital property, such as a house, cars, and personal property. If children are born of the marriage, the parties must agree to custody, visitation and child support. Whenever a disagreement is not settled, divorce mediation can save the situation from becoming an $8,000.00 divorce in Tulsa!

Normally, when seeking an uncontested divorce, both parties must have settled all disputes before filing the divorce. Hiring an experienced divorce mediator will also help the couple to navigate the intricate details which may not be agreed upon and even negotiate the terms of the agreement, thus protecting the parties from financial peril as a result of litigation.

Advantages of Uncontested Divorce

The benefits of an uncontested divorce for the client and the immediate family are many, including offering an instant, less damaging legal process that also protects the privacy of the client to a greater extent, unlike battling with lawyers in court for several years.

Easier and speedy Resolution

Most importantly, an uncontested separation is simpler to resolve, in contrast to a contested divorce. With an uncontested divorce, it usually takes ten days to obtain a divorce in Tulsa with no children. On the other hand, if the parties fight over key issues such as sharing of matrimonial property, child support and access, anxiety will build causing the former partners to derail and counteract each other, dragging the case for several years in court. Thus, an uncontested divorce can quickly resolve these disagreements.

Civility

When going through a contested divorce, the tendency to become uncivil by either party tends to be higher unlike when solving the case through an uncontested or mediated divorce where a tolerable amount of sobriety and civility may prevail right through the process. The heated conflict that is common in contested divorce often makes it hard to resolve the issues amicably.

Costs of Divorce in Tulsa

While the expenses of hiring a legal counsel for a contested divorce may vary from one legal counsel to another, the costs of an uncontested divorce in Tulsa are often less in the long run, particularly when both parties are civil, sharing information and documents freely while negotiating a joint agreement. This occurrence means that the spouses can save more money for taking care of other family expenses down the road.

Express Documents and Mediation of Tulsa starts at $149 without children or $249 with children involved in a Tulsa Uncontested Divorce.

Improved Privacy Control

Choosing an uncontested approach to resolving a separation can also provide better privacy control to both spouses. This incident is because the terms of an uncontested divorce in Tulsa are debated in private while in a contested separation each side`s counsel make their submissions in public, and they become public hearings. By the time a client who has worked with Express Documents and Mediation of Tulsa reaches the courthouse, they have already settled all disputes in the case.

Benefits to the immediate family

There are also many advantages to the immediate family if both parties resolve the separation in an uncontested approach. More specifically, the kids will reap emotionally and financially if the both spouses put their personal egos aside and put the children` interests ahead of everything else. In fact, the effect of the divorce will be less harmful to the kids in an uncontested separation, as compared to a contested one.

Sometimes, a contested divorce may force other family members to make unwise decisions, for instance, to take sides’ in a divorce case. In addition to that, immediate colleagues and friends may be required to file affidavits to show testimony or evidence in court during a contested divorce. Such excessive pressure may affect the relationship between the family members. Hence, it is healthier for the children and even the extended family when both spouses can establish a clash-proof environment via an uncontested divorce instead of picking a contestable style. When settling a divorce case, the conventional wisdom is to consider an arrangement of a quicker, less hurting, as well as a cost-effective and more private manner that upholds the emotional well-being of the kids and the family members while also protecting their rights and welfare.

Where is my divorce case going to be heard?

Your divorce will be heard in the county where you file. Typically you must file in the (Tulsa) county you have resided in for at least 30 days and 6 months in the State of Oklahoma.

A Retainer Fee is a monetary fee paid to represent a client in a case. The average retainer fee in Oklahoma is anywhere from $1500-$3000.

Will the retainer fee cover my entire attorney fee?

Typically speaking, the answer is no. Generally speaking a divorce may take more hours than what the attorney’s retainer fee covers, but that’s not necessarily inclusive of what a retainer fee may cover.

Can I pay a flat fee if my divorce is uncontested?

Yes. Our services are designed for you to play flat fees instead of unknown retainer and hourly fees. If your case is contested we will charge you $450 for a mediation initially. Additional mediation can be bought in blocks of one hours to three hours. If you are in complete agreement and do not need to mediate then we can start your uncontested divorce paperwork at $149 without children or $249 with children. 🙂

Can an attorney represent both me and my spouse in an uncontested divorce?

Typically one attorney will represent one party and another lawyer will represent the other party. For the sake of our services, you will not need to use an attorney if you have an  uncontested divorce prepared for you to file a pro se divorce. Pro Se means “For Self.”

How long does it take to get a divorce in Oklahoma?

In Oklahoma there is a 90 day waiting period for with children divorces, and a 10 day waiting period for divorce without children. Some people get a 90 day waiver to request the court grant the divorce faster than 90 days if they have circumstances which they feel warrant a faster divorce. It is up to the judge whether or not the 90 days is waived or stands.

In a contested case, most cases of this type will take anywhere from six months to even a couple of years. We have seen cases go for very long period of time and that is our number one goal to avoid!

Who pays child support in a divorce case?

The Oklahoma DHS child support guidelines govern who pays Child support and a divorce. Typically the noncustodial parent pays child support.

How is child support calculated?

Oklahoma child support is calculated using the Oklahoma DHS child support calculator which is subject to the Oklahoma DHS child support guidelines. You can find the Oklahoma DHS child support calculator with a simple Google search of Oklahoma DHS child support calculator.

What is support alimony?

Some of our clients elect to provide alimony because they feel like it’s the right thing to do but not everyone is required to do that.

What assets are subject to division by the court in a divorce case?

What is a prenuptial agreement?
