We are looking for an experienced paralegal to prepare uncontested divorce cases in North Carolina. Most cases involve no real property or children. The cases are also filed by parties that are working together amicably to end their marriage. No cases involve protection orders, child neglect/abuse, etc. Each case is for a couple that simply wishes to end their marriage as economically as possible and without an attorney, although some may seek legal advice before or during the process. Further, the parties have already agreed on everything (e.g. division of property/debts and child support/custody, if applicable).

The process would involve you receiving a questionnaire completed jointly by the husband and wife. Based upon their answers you would complete the required pleadings and any known local forms. If clarification is needed regarding answers or incomplete responses, you would be required to draft one email requesting the necessary information.

You will work anonymously and never be required to contact the client directly, not even via email. You would only draft emails that I would send to the client. This is truly a 100% ?back-office? operation on your end.

You must be very experienced with the North Carolina State dissolution of marriage documents/forms and process. If you are experienced it will take little effort to complete an entire set of initial and final pleadings. Keep in mind these are very simple cases so both the initial pleadings and final documents are prepared at the same time.

You must know all pleadings and forms are required and how to complete them given the answers provided in the client questionnaire. You must require little supervision and know from North Carolina family law experience what to do and how to do it. You must be a self starter and motivated to timely complete all tasks. Unfortunately, we do not have time to train you.

We offer a flat fee per case. We pay $40 for each completed case involving no children. We pay $50 per case involving children. We will pay you upon receipt of the completed case. You will not be an employee, but rather a contractor providing case prep services.

We will work with each other via email, although we may speak via telephone as needed. The process is rather simple, we email you completed questionnaires and you return all the completed case documents to us via email. If any clarification is needed this is addressed via email as well.

If this opportunity sounds interesting to you please provide us with your phone number, name and best time to call you. Please include a brief resume or summary of your relevant experience. There is no need to provide a cover letter, etc. Simply provide enough information to demonstrate you have the pertinent and level of experience we seek.

Let us know how many cases you feel you can complete each day. When you respond use the subject ?North Carolina Telecommute Paralegal.? Failure to complete this subject line as indicated will result in your application not being processed.

* Compensation: $40/$50 per case
