DivorceReady prepares self-help documents; it does not file them or provide legal advice. Court and third-party fees are separate.

Where to begin

For an uncontested divorce, confirm that your situation fits the court's requirements, identify the filing court, and verify the current forms and fees. DivorceReady helps prepare a document packet from your answers; you remain responsible for review, signatures, filing, service, and court costs.
