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.

What states do you support?

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.

What Happens After Filing for Divorce in Pennsylvania

The short version

After filing in Pennsylvania, filers usually complete service or waiver, wait the required court timing, respond to clerk or court requests, prepare final documents, and follow the hearing or judgment submission process.

Check eligibility

Confirm your divorce is uncontested and that the Pennsylvania residency rule fits your situation.

Prepare documents

Build the COMPLAINT IN DIVORCE, settlement terms, and final decree or judgment documents.

Review before payment

Review your answers and document packet preview before paying for document generation.

File with the court

Submit the completed packet through the proper Court of Common Pleas filing path for your county.

Finish court steps

Complete service or waiver steps, observe the 90 days (mutual consent) timing rule, and follow final court instructions.

After the court accepts the filing

Once the starting documents are filed, keep the filed copies, case number, e-filing receipt if any, and court notices. Pennsylvania Courts provide official no-fault and mutual-consent divorce forms, but filing is handled through the designated county courthouse office, often the Prothonotary or Office of Judicial Records. Some counties may offer local e-filing or separate procedures, so self-represented filers should confirm filing method, copies, fees, and local forms before filing.

Save filing confirmation.

Watch for clerk notices.

Correct rejected documents quickly.

Service and Pennsylvania waiting period

Defendant must receive copies of filed divorce papers according to Pennsylvania service rules; service may include sheriff, an eligible process server or adult, certified mail where permitted, or a signed acceptance/waiver depending on the form and county. The reviewed state profile lists the waiting period as 90 days (mutual consent).

Complete service or waiver.

Track waiting-period dates.

Prepare final documents before the final review step.

Final review, hearing, or judgment submission

The court may require a final hearing, prove-up, judgment packet, or local finalization steps. DivorceReady prepares documents; customers still follow court instructions as self-represented filers.

Bring or submit signed documents.

Follow local hearing rules.

Get certified copies after finalization if needed.
