At the Law Office of Kelley M. Enderley, PC., we define an uncontested divorce as when both parties want to be divorced and have already agreed on how they are going to divide up their assets, including the marital residence, personal property, bank accounts, investment accounts, and retirements. They will have also come to an amicable agreement regarding child support, spousal support, and child custody.

A divorce of this nature is a $2,500 flat fee retainer. This includes two drafts of a settlement agreement. If both parties do not agree and sign the second draft of the settlement agreement, then the matter is no longer considered an uncontested divorce, as defined by this office, and an hourly rate is charged.

There are additional filing fees for matrimonial actions. Those fees are paid directly to the county. The fee schedule for filing fees in Dutchess County Clerk’s office: https://www.dutchessny.gov/Departments/County-Clerk/County-Clerk.htm
