Our streamlined process gets you the help you need quickly and efficiently.
We review your situation including the marriage, assets, children, and any Islamic marriage contracts (mahr). We explain your options under state law and develop a strategy that respects both your legal rights and cultural values.
We file the divorce petition in the appropriate court, establishing grounds for divorce and requesting temporary orders if needed (custody, support, restraining orders). Your spouse is formally served with the papers.
