What is DivorceReady.online?

DivorceReady.online is an online self-help document preparation app for uncontested divorce. The app asks guided questions, prepares state-specific divorce document packages from the customer's answers, and provides filing instructions and checklists for self-represented filers. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.

How much does DivorceReady cost?

DivorceReady charges a one-time flat fee of $89.99 for divorces without minor children, and $119.99 for divorces with minor children. There are no monthly fees, no hidden charges, and no subscription. This covers document preparation for your case. Court filing fees are separate and paid directly to the court.

What documents are included in the package?

Every package includes a Divorce Petition, Marital Settlement Agreement, Property Division Agreement, Final Decree of Divorce, Spousal Support Agreement if applicable, Name Restoration paperwork if applicable, and step-by-step court filing instructions. The With Children package also includes a Parenting Plan, Child Custody Agreement, Child Support Worksheet, and Visitation Schedule.

Do I need a lawyer to file for divorce?

For an uncontested divorce where both parties agree on all terms, you can file as a Pro Se (self-represented) litigant. Courts handle Pro Se filings every day. Our service prepares state-specific documents and provides step-by-step filing instructions. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice; local court rules vary, so confirm requirements with your court.

DivorceReady currently supports Texas, Florida, California, New York, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Maryland, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Louisiana, Kentucky, Indiana, and Oregon. Every supported state has a dedicated state landing page with state-specific document preparation language, filing facts, sample packet preview, and a self-represented filing path.

Is my personal information secure?

Yes. All data is transmitted using 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by banks. Our databases are encrypted and access-controlled. We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.

Do you have a money-back guarantee?

Yes. We offer a 30-day refund of DivorceReady's document-preparation fee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, contact us within 30 days of purchase for a refund. Court filing fees are separate and non-refundable.
