Divorce in Arkansas

Divorces are like cars, coming in all prices and varieties! They can be short & simple with no contested issues or long, complicated custody and financial battles.

Separating from a spouse is one of the most difficult things a person experiences. The decisions made during this time will have a lasting impact on the lives of all people involved. Whether it is a case of an uncontested separation with no children or assets or a contentious division of children, assets, and debts, Lion Legal Services is here to ensure you are not disadvantaged by your spouse. We help you reach closure and obtain a fair, long-lasting result.

How Much Will My Divorce Cost?

There are many variables and some divorces are very costly.

The national average for a divorce that can be settled without going to trial is $12,900.

At Lion Legal Services, we help guide more than 60% or our clients through a full service divorce for no more than $2,500.

That’s less than 1/5 of the average!

We are trial hardened lawyers who will go to trial with you, prepared to win if that’s what your case requires, but you and your ex can save thousands of dollars by taking a practical approach to your divorce. Reasonableness is what we recommend.
