How this content gets made
You use these guides to make decisions about money, children, and your future, so the bar is accuracy, not speed. This page explains where our information comes from and what we promise about it.
Primary sources only
State guides start at the source: the court's own self-help materials, the statute itself, and the forms and fee schedules the courts publish. Rules are cited from the body that wrote them, never from another website's summary.
Written for first-time filers
Everything is written to be understood on the first read by someone who has never filed a court document. When a legal term matters, we define it in the sentence where it appears.
Checked before it ships
Legal-process guides are verified against current court sources before publishing. When a qualified reviewer has checked a piece, their name appears on it, top and bottom.
Dated in the open
Laws and fees change, so every guide shows when it was last updated. State pages get re-checked on a schedule, and again any time a state changes its rules.
What we promise
- If online divorce is the wrong tool for your situation, we say so plainly and point you toward a lawyer.
- DivorcedVirtually is a self-help service, not a law firm. Our content is general information and never legal advice.
- Where an answer depends on your county or your judge, we tell you that instead of pretending one answer fits everyone.
- Mistakes get fixed fast. Report one and we check it against the court source and correct it, publicly.
How to reach us about our content
If you believe a guide is out of date or inaccurate, tell us. Email support@divorcedvirtually.com with the page and what looks wrong, and we will compare it against the current court source and update it. Accuracy matters more to us than being fast, and corrections are always free.
This page describes our process for informational content. It does not create an attorney, client relationship, and nothing on DivorcedVirtually is a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney in your state.
No pressure, ever
Start when you're ready
The qualification check is free and takes about two minutes. Your answers save automatically, and nothing is owed until your documents are built.
