Is this actually legit?

Yes. We're a document preparation service — we prepare state-specific, court-ready forms for uncontested divorce filings. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.

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.

How online divorce works in Maryland

Maryland is a priority market because the rules changed recently and many couples are unsure whether they still need separation, fault grounds, or a lawyer for a cooperative case. A clear online divorce page should explain mutual consent, irreconcilable differences, filing cost, and when document preparation is enough.

State-specific process

1Confirm Maryland residency and choose the correct no-fault filing path.
2Prepare the Complaint for Absolute Divorce, settlement agreement, property statement, and required supporting forms.
3File in the proper circuit court and complete service or cooperative filing steps.
4Move through any county-specific hearing, parenting education, or final decree requirements.

Timeline

Maryland no longer requires a fault-based path for most people. Mutual consent and irreconcilable differences can move without a separate mandatory waiting period, while a 6-month separation ground still requires the separation period first.

Total cost

Our preparation fee is $129. Maryland court filing fees are commonly about $165, with possible county-specific add-ons or service costs.

Can I file for divorce online in Maryland?

You can prepare Maryland divorce paperwork online, but filing, service, hearings, and final approval still depend on Maryland circuit court procedure.

Common documents include the Complaint for Absolute Divorce, Marital Settlement Agreement, property statement, financial forms when needed, and Report of Absolute Divorce.

Can I use DivorceMe if we have children?
