Montgomery DIY Divorce

How to File for Divorce Without a Lawyer in Montgomery, AL

You're sitting at Eastchase at midnight, googling "file for divorce myself Alabama." Good news: Alabama is one of the easiest states to DIY. No waiting period, low fees, straightforward process.

Total cost: $275-$390. Time: 4-8 weeks if uncontested.

Can You DIY?

About 40% finish without help in Montgomery County—better than most places.

DIY works if you agree on everything. Doesn't work if spouse disagrees, business ownership, complex assets, or domestic violence.

What It Costs

Filing: $250-$290. Service: $25-$100. Total: $275-$390 (very affordable!).

No Waiting Period

Alabama has NO waiting period. Once filed, if both agree, finalize in weeks. One of fastest states.

Steps

  1. Confirm 6-month Alabama residency

  2. Gather documents

  3. Download Alabama forms

  4. Fill Complaint for Divorce

  5. Fill Settlement Agreement

  6. Create Parenting Plan if kids

  7. Calculate child support

  8. File at Montgomery County Courthouse ($250-$290)

  9. Serve spouse ($25-$100)

  10. Wait for response (30 days)

  11. Submit Final Decree

  12. Receive signed decree

Most spend 10-15 hours. Alabama's equitable distribution allows flexibility in fair division.

You can do this. Montgomery is very affordable and fast for DIY.
