The Divorce Process

Understanding the steps involved in an uncontested divorce can help you navigate the process with confidence.

Divorce Process
1

Step 1: Determine Eligibility

Before filing for divorce, you must meet your state's residency requirements and determine that your divorce qualifies as uncontested (both parties agree on all issues).

Step 2: Complete Our Online Interview

Answer our simple online questionnaire about your marriage, property, children, and other relevant details. This usually takes 30-60 minutes.

Step 3: Receive Your Documents

Our team prepares all required court forms for your specific state and county. You'll receive your completed documents within 24-48 hours.

Step 4: Review and Sign

Carefully review your documents. Both spouses must sign where indicated. A notary may be required for some documents depending on your state.

5

Step 5: File With the Court

Submit your signed documents to your county courthouse along with the required filing fees. Our instructions will guide you through this process.

Step 6: Serve Your Spouse

Depending on your state, you may need to formally serve your spouse with the divorce papers. We provide instructions for this step.

Step 7: Waiting Period

Most states have a mandatory waiting period after filing before the divorce is finalized. This varies from 0 to 6 months depending on the state.

Step 8: Divorce Decree

After the waiting period and any required hearings, the court issues a Decree of Dissolution, finalizing your divorce.
