Document Drafting is a type of "limited representation". Because of our economy, the financial burden of retaining full representation of a divorce attorney may be impossible for some people. More and more parties are attempting to represent themselves in court. Based upon that need and the increased demand for access to justice, the Law Office of Christine Barrett offers low cost, limited assistance in drafting the necessary court documents for UNCONTESTED divorces with or without children in Rutherford and Cannon Counties in Tennessee.
For a case to qualify as "uncontested" both parties must be in agreement and be willing to sign court documents outlining the division of all assets and debts. If there are minor child(ren) of the marriage, both parties must be in agreement to a parenting schedule that is in the best interest of the child(ren). (Child support is not negotiable and is based upon the Tennessee Child Support Guidelines.)
This is for the self-representing party (also known as a "pro se" party) who does NOT want to hire a lawyer for legal representation in court. You MUST be a legal resident or have the right to file in either Rutherford or Cannon County Tennessee. This is for NEW (never been filed) uncontested divorce cases only.
We are unable to assist you if a case has already been started.
This service is limited to uncontested divorces that may be filed in Rutherford and Cannon County Tennessee.
The cost starts at $300 but may vary depending on the situation (cases involving children, real estate and/or a business may be higher).
We accept most major credit cards and debit cards with a "Visa" or "Mastercard" symbol.
