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.

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.

Louisiana Divorce With Children: Parenting and Support Basics

The short version

A Louisiana divorce with children usually requires more detail than a no-children case, including parenting schedule, decision-making, child support, medical support, and child-related final order terms. Courts can review these agreements before approval.

Confirm agreement

Make sure both parents agree on custody or parenting time, support, insurance, and decision-making terms.

Enter child details

Provide child names, birthdates, addresses, support details, and agreed parenting terms.

Review forms carefully

Child-related forms are often reviewed closely by the court. Check all names, dates, and support details.

Follow court instructions

Complete any parent education, hearing, child support, or final review requirement the court gives you.

What changes when children are involved in Louisiana

A divorce involving minor children usually needs child-related pleadings, parenting terms, support calculations or worksheets, and final order language. The reviewed state profile lists PARENTING PLAN AND CHILD SUPPORT ORDER as child-related materials.

Parenting time or residential schedule.

Decision-making or custody terms.

Child support and medical support details.

When the uncontested path can still work

The uncontested path can fit when both parents agree on all material child-related terms and are comfortable filing as self-represented parties. Disputes about safety, relocation, support, or parenting time should be reviewed with an attorney.

Terms are clear and complete.
