Uncontested Divorce Made Simple and Affordable
Ending a marriage doesn’t have to mean endless court battles or overwhelming legal bills. If you and your spouse agree on the important issues, an uncontested divorce is your path forward.
Frank Kessler has spent over 40 years helping Tennessee couples navigate uncontested divorce agreements with clarity, respect, and predictable pricing.
As a Divorce Lawyer in Brentwood, TN, I represent executives, healthcare professionals, business owners, entrepreneurs, and families who require strategic legal counsel during complex marital transitions. Many Brentwood divorces involve substantial assets, retirement portfolios, real estate holdings, equity compensation, and business interests. Careful evaluation and disciplined legal planning are essential.
My practice focuses on strategic planning, thorough documentation, and disciplined negotiation. While many cases can be resolved through settlement discussions, I prepare every case with courtroom readiness to ensure your rights are protected if litigation becomes necessary.
WHAT IS AN UNCONTESTED DIVORCE?
Uncontested Divorce Explained in Simple Terms
An uncontested divorce means you and your spouse agree on all major issues:
Division of property and debts
Parenting plan if you have children
Child support if applicable
Spousal support if applicable
When you agree, there’s nothing for a judge to fight over. The court simply reviews and approves your uncontested divorce agreement.
Is Uncontested Divorce Right for You?
This approach works best when you and your spouse can communicate and compromise. You don’t need to be best friends. You just need to be willing to reach agreement.
If that sounds like your situation, an uncontested divorce attorney can help you finalize things quickly and affordably.

Our uncontested divorce cost is a flat fee starting at $1,100. This covers everything—document preparation, court filings, and complete legal support. No hourly billing.

Most cases complete within 4-10 weeks from initial consultation to final decree. This depends primarily on how quickly you provide information and court processing times in your county.

In most uncontested cases handled by our clinic, no court appearance is required. We file everything, and the judge signs your final decree without requiring you to appear.
