Online Divorce Kits

The internet is full of information on DIY (do-it-yourself) kits. You can sell your home online, sell your car, do your taxes, and on and on. If you are going through a divorce, consider online divorce kits. A divorce lawyer can charge you a upfront flat rate (which is rare), an hourly fee (typically between $75 to $350/hr), minimum fee per service (such as $250 for drafting paperwork) or they can charge by specified increments of time ( per 15 minute increment for example).

An average uncontested divorce could cost you and your spouse between $2,000 to $4000 if you hire an attorney. The main reason for going through lawyers is if the divorce is a contested one where both parties just cannot agree on the settlement. If you fall into the case where your divorce will be uncontested then an online kit may work for you. You may still qualify for an online kit if there are children involved.

Different online kits provide varying services. Legalzoom and CompleteCase are the largest sites offering complete online divorce kits by State. The sites don't just offer blank legal forms for download or general divorce information, as many similar sites and offline DIY kits do (such as Socrates Media). They help you fill out state-specific divorce forms they guarantee will be accepted by your local courts. This does not mean that you can finalize your divorce online. You may still be required to go to court to finalize your divorce or you may be able to mail the forms in. You will need to check with the county clerk’s office to see what is required where you live.

In my opinion, sites such as Legalzoom and CompleteCase are the best because of the step by step assistance they provide. If you just download the forms you risk the chance of filling them out incorrectly which will delay your divorce. A typical package from these sites run about $249 for a uncontested divorce to $350 if there are children involved. Please check the websites for current pricing.
