Two Paths Through Divorce. We Handle Both.

Uncontested Divorce

When both spouses agree on the terms — property, custody, support — an uncontested divorce is faster, less expensive, and less stressful. We handle the paperwork and court filings so nothing falls through the cracks.

Contested Divorce

When you can't agree, the stakes get higher. We represent your interests in court on property division, custody, alimony, and debt allocation. Our attorneys have decades of trial experience protecting Arkansas families.

What to Expect When You File for Divorce in Arkansas.

A clear path forward in three steps.
1

Filing the Petition

One spouse files a Complaint for Divorce in the county circuit court. Arkansas requires a 30-day residency before filing.
2

Negotiation or Mediation

We work to reach fair agreements on property, custody, and support. If negotiation doesn't work, we're prepared to go to court.
3

Final Decree

Once terms are settled — by agreement or court order — the judge issues a final divorce decree. Arkansas has an 18-month waiting period for contested cases.

Common Divorce Questions

How long does a divorce take in Arkansas?
An uncontested divorce can be finalized in as little as 30 days after filing. Contested divorces typically take 6-18 months depending on the complexity of the case.
How is property divided in Arkansas?
Arkansas is an equitable distribution state. The court divides marital property fairly — but not necessarily equally. We help ensure you receive a fair share.
What about child custody?
Arkansas courts prioritize the best interests of the child. Factors include each parent's living situation, relationship with the child, and ability to provide. We advocate for arrangements that protect your children.
How much does a divorce lawyer cost?
Every case is different. We offer affordable rates and will explain our fee structure during your free consultation — no surprises.
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
While not legally required, having an attorney review your agreement protects your rights and ensures nothing is missed in the paperwork.
