In an uncontested divorce, the case is filed in the Circuit Court in the county where you or your spouse resides. The online attorney can file the documents you receive. When the online attorney files the documents, the attorney communicates with the court on your behalf. Generally, no court hearing is required in an uncontested divorce. When the online attorney files the case and enters a notice of appearance, it is unlikely that a court hearing will be necessary to finalize your agreed divorce. But any judge may request a hearing at that time. The judge has the absolute right to require a hearing, even in an uncontested divorce. With the online attorney filing the case for you, the attorney will try to address any issues or concerns the court raises to avoid an actual hearing. Even so, a judge may still require a hearing to finalize your divorce even though the attorney has sent additional information to the court. Should a court hearing be required, and we e-filed your case for you, the online attorney will request permission for all parties to attend the hearing remotely via Zoom or similar video technology to avoid anyone having to appear in court physically. In the rare instance that the court requires an in-person hearing, we can assist you by locating a local attorney to appear with you in court should the online attorney not be able to attend the hearing for any reason. An additional fee is required for the online attorney to attend a virtual court hearing, and a local market fee shall be required for you to have a local attorney, if required, to appear in person with you at an in-person hearing.
×Under Alabama law, a mandatory waiting period applies after filing a Complaint for Divorce or Summons with the Circuit Court: 30 days for cases without minor children and 45 days for those involving minors. This waiting period must pass before a judge can grant the divorce. Filing promptly allows the waiting period to begin sooner, expediting the process. Please note that there is no guarantee the judge will sign the divorce decree immediately upon reaching the required waiting period. The timing may vary based on the judge’s schedule and the court’s caseload, which can affect how quickly your case is reviewed and finalized.

In Alabama, both parents have the duty to support the children regardless which parent exercises a majority of the visitation. Visitation plays a major role in determining child support. The parents’ income will serve as the other determining factor in the ordering of child support in Alabama. The more visitation one parent exercises, the higher the burden on the other parent to pay support. If the visitation is equal, both parents have an equal duty to provide support depending on their incomes.
Most parents mistakenly believe that they can agree that no child support will be paid in your case. The court must look at what is in the best interest of the child when making all orders, including child support. This means that even if the parents agree that there will be no child support paid, the court usually will reject that agreement. There are rare circumstances in which a court will not order child support. An example of a situation where a court may not order support is if the child spends an equal amount of time with each parent, and the parents each earn the same amount of money. Even in circumstances where the child spends the same amount of time with each parent, the court will often order the parent who earns more to pay support to the parent who does not earn as much.
The court will typically order a monthly child support amount that is in accordance with the statutory guidelines listed in the Alabama State Statute. Child support in Alabama is calculated according to both parents’ gross monthly income and is determined by statutory guidelines according to that income and the amount of visitation exercised by each parent. If a parent is unemployed, but able to work, child support will still be ordered according to minimum wage earnings. Health insurance costs will be included in the child support calculations.
A court must find the child support amount ordered to be in the best interest of the child. If the child support amount is not in accordance with the Alabama State Child Support Guidelines guideline, then there must be a specific reasons listed in the as to why the standard guideline child support is not ordered and why the amount ordered instead is in the best interest of the child. If parents reach an agreement for child support that is lower than the statutory guideline amount, then the court is likely to reject that agreement unless it finds compelling reasons to warrant the parent to pay a different amount.
Most Alabama courts require that an Income Withholding Order be signed by the judge in a divorce where child support is ordered unless there is an agreement between the parties. This is an order by the court that the employer of the parent who is ordered to pay support must take the child support out of the employee’s pay check and mail it in to the state for payment of support.
All payments for child support will generally be paid through the “Alabama Child Support Payment Center” in Montgomery so the parent will typically not pay child support directly to the other parent unless specified in the Separation Agreement.
Alabama courts do not look kindly at those parents who fail to pay court-ordered child support. If a parent fails to pay child support, that parent could be held in contempt of court, have their driver’s license suspended, have their IRS refunds seized, and/or can go to jail.
