Is this actually legit?

Yes. We're a document preparation service — we generate the exact same court-approved forms a lawyer would prepare for an uncontested divorce. We've been used by thousands of couples across the US.

What's an "uncontested" divorce?

It means you and your spouse agree on the big stuff — who gets what, custody arrangements, support. If you're on the same page, you probably don't need expensive lawyers.

How long until I'm actually divorced?

We prepare your documents in 1–2 business days. After that, it depends on your state — some have mandatory waiting periods (30 days to 6 months), and court processing varies.

For a straightforward uncontested divorce? Most people don't. But if you have complex assets, a business, or any concerns about your rights, we always recommend consulting a family law attorney.

What if my spouse won't cooperate?

Our service works best when both spouses are on the same page. If your spouse won't sign or you can't agree on terms, you may need a contested divorce process — and probably a lawyer.

Absolutely. If we can't prepare your documents for any reason, you get a full refund. No hoops, no fine print.

Is my information safe?

Bank-level encryption, and we never sell or share your data. You can request deletion at any time.
