Online divorce and document preparation

These services prepare paperwork and walk you through the steps. The differences that matter are whether filing is included, what renews automatically, and which states they actually cover.

Worth knowing: Online divorce services prepare documents or provide guided self help. They are not a substitute for independent legal advice. Eligibility, forms, court fees, filing procedures and waiting periods vary by state and county. Cases involving disagreement, hidden assets, business interests, abuse, coercive control, relocation, international issues or urgent child safety concerns may need a licensed attorney.
