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.

Do you have a money-back guarantee?
