1 /5 Bonnie Richards: My significant other and I chose noelle because she came highly recommended from law enforcement and the community. If you are looking for FAST and COST EFFECTIVE, LOOK ELSEWHERE. Granted my boyfriends divorce was a bit complicated due to false allegations and a dvpo but his divorce took 17 months and yes he is officially divorced but his x wife and bf are still living in the residence that is supposed to be placed on the market to sell. Probably causing the value to go down daily. Also, an average contested divorce with children in WA state is anywhere from 13k-16k. The end dollar figure from my boyfriends divorce was 23k. Granted, neither party in this case had much of income.... so why so much?? and why so long??? 5k retainer. $500 a month to lawyer for 17 months= $8,500 and a outstanding balance of $9,500.00 to boot and this was for emails and final court orders. Also, he was ORDERED to pay 420 n child support while trying to pay all this other stuff. He did get 50/50 custody but with his xs mental health issues ( not following court orders) and known drug use you would think he could have gotten full custody and been divorced in half the cost and half the time.
