Do my spouse and I both have to agree?
For this to work, yes. Online divorce is built for couples who've already settled the big questions: property, debts, and parenting if you have kids. If one of you plans to contest something, you'll each want your own attorney instead.
Will a court really accept documents prepared online?
Courts accept documents based on whether they're the right forms, filled out correctly, not on who typed them. Your packet is built from the official forms your own county uses, so it arrives looking exactly the way the clerk expects.
What does it cost, all-in?
$159, once. That covers the interview, your full document package, and support through filing. The only other cost is your court's own filing fee, which every divorcing couple pays no matter how their papers were prepared. We show you your county's number before you commit.
How fast can this actually go?
The interview itself takes a few hours total, and most people spread it over a few days. After filing, the pace belongs to your state: many have a waiting period between a few weeks and a few months before a judge signs the decree. Your dashboard shows the timeline for your state.
We have kids and a house. Can we still use this?
Yes, as long as you both agree on the plan: who stays in the home, how equity is handled, and a parenting schedule with support. The interview walks through each piece. If your agreement starts unraveling on any of them, that's the signal to pause and talk to an attorney.
Do we each need our own lawyer?
In an uncontested divorce, usually neither of you does, because there's nothing to argue in front of a judge. That said, we're a document-preparation service, not a law firm, and we never give legal advice. If you want a professional opinion on your agreement, a one-hour consult with a local attorney is money well spent.
What happens to the personal information I enter?
It's encrypted in transit and at rest, used only to prepare your documents, and never sold or shared with data brokers. Delete your account and we delete your data. The full details live in our Privacy Policy.
