EnglishWhat Is Divorce.com and How Does It Work?
Updated
Divorce.com is an online divorce platform that prepares and files divorce paperwork for you without requiring you to hire an attorney. You answer questions about your situation, and the service generates court-compliant forms for your state, with optional add-ons like a dedicated case manager and certified mediation. It's built for people who either already agree on the terms of their divorce or want help reaching agreement — not for contested litigation.
What Divorce.com actually does
The platform handles the document side of an uncontested or mediated divorce:
- Step-by-step guidance through the filing process
- Court-approved forms generated from your answers
- Filing support for your jurisdiction
- A dedicated case manager for check-ins, workshops, and questions
- Certified mediators when you and your spouse need help agreeing on custody, assets, or support
The site states most couples save 80–90% compared to hiring attorneys, and that pricing is affordable and up-front with no hidden fees or hourly billing. You can see your personalized options by answering a few questions, which the site says takes under 3 minutes.
How the process works
- Answer a short questionnaire about your marriage, children, assets, and debts. The site says this takes under 3 minutes to see your options.
- Review your personalized divorce options and choose a service level.
- Complete the full intake — the platform says it handles complex circumstances like children, shared assets, and debt.
- Receive your paperwork. Divorce.com states you can get your personalized divorce paperwork in as little as 2 business days, though filing timelines vary by state.
- File with the court, using the platform's filing support. If you and your spouse disagree on terms, mediation can be added.
Coverage: where you can use it
Divorce.com covers all 50 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C., and 5 Canadian provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Ontario.
Who it's a good fit for
| Situation | Fits Divorce.com? |
|---|---|
| You and your spouse agree on terms | Yes — fastest path |
| You disagree but want to mediate | Yes — certified mediators available |
| You have children, shared assets, or debt | Yes — the platform states it handles these |
| You want an attorney to represent you in court | No — this is a self-guided/DIY service |
| You have a heavily contested or litigated divorce | Likely not — mediation is offered, but not courtroom representation |
What to check before starting
- Your state's filing timeline. The 2-business-day figure is for receiving paperwork, not for finalizing the divorce — the site explicitly notes filing timelines vary by state.
- Your specific court's requirements. "Court-compliant" forms are generated per jurisdiction, but local courts sometimes have additional steps.
- Pricing for your situation. Divorce.com lists a pricing page; costs depend on the services you select, so review it before committing.
If your divorce is uncontested or you're willing to mediate, Divorce.com is designed to get you from questionnaire to filed paperwork without an attorney. If your case is contested and headed to court, you'll need legal representation instead.
