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.

Editorial Policy Legal Accuracy Methodology Not a Law Firm

Pennsylvania residency requirement

One of the parties must have been a bona fide resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for at least 6 months immediately before filing the Complaint.

Residency determines whether the court can accept the case.

County-level venue rules can also matter.

Keep proof of residence available in case the clerk or court asks.

Where to file

Divorce papers are generally filed in the proper county court connected to the Court of Common Pleas. DivorceReady helps prepare the paperwork; you still file through the court, clerk, or approved portal.

Use the county where venue is proper.

Confirm the filing location before paying court fees.

Some counties may require local add-on forms.

Before you start the questionnaire

If you are unsure whether you meet the Pennsylvania residency rule, gather your move-in dates, current county, spouse location, and any documents showing where you live.

Driver license, lease, utility bill, or similar proof can help establish facts.

Military, recent moves, or split-state spouses can be more complex.

Speak with an attorney if eligibility is unclear.
