Legal Question in Family Law in California

Can I get one lawyer for our divorce if we agree on everything? My husband and I agree on everything from custody, child support, finances, and belongings. We just need someone to fill out the paper work file it and help with that stuff. My husband is in the military in California. Could I hire and attorney tell him/her what we agreed on and what we want so they can draw it up and I sign it mail it to him and he signs it and we are done? My husband will deploy in the fall and we are wanting all the documents and everything done by then hopefully.

Everything can be done by agreement. There is a waiting period of 6 months and a day from the time the party is served, so even if there are no issues, it likely will not be finished until Nov/Dec. For further information, visit http://www.ellifritzlaw.com
