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?

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.

File for Divorce Without a Lawyer in Tennessee

The short version

Many Tennessee filers can represent themselves in an uncontested divorce, but they still must meet residency rules, prepare the correct paperwork, pay court fees, complete service or waiver, and follow local court instructions.

Check eligibility

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

Prepare documents

Build the COMPLAINT FOR 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 Circuit Court or Chancery Court filing path for your county.

Finish court steps

Complete service or waiver steps, observe the 60 days before hearing if there are no minor children; 90 days before hearing if minor children are involved timing rule, and follow final court instructions.

When a do-it-yourself Tennessee divorce can fit

A self-represented path is usually best when both spouses agree on divorce, property, debts, support, and parenting terms if children are involved. DivorceReady prepares documents from your answers but does not represent either spouse.

Best for uncontested cases.

Not designed for contested custody or hidden-asset disputes.

Use an attorney when legal rights are unclear.

Where to file in Tennessee

Divorce cases in Tennessee are generally filed through the proper Circuit Court or Chancery Court. Tennessee Courts provide court-approved divorce forms, but filing is handled through the Circuit or Chancery Court clerk in the county where the case is filed. Self-represented filers should confirm the local filing method, copies, fees, accepted payment, hearing scheduling, and any county-specific cover sheets before filing.

Confirm county venue.

Check local forms and copies.

Ask the clerk about filing fees and accepted payment.

How DivorceReady supports the self-represented process
