Can Divorce.com answer my legal questions?
Divorce.com is a platform that helps our customers create their own documents to complete their divorce. We provide all the information most people will need, but cannot give you individual legal advice.

But our team does provide helpful and friendly support to answer questions about our online uncontested divorce process or our mediation services. Still need legal advice? Not a problem. We can connect you with an independent family law attorney in your area.

Do I still need to go to court if I use Divorce.com?
It depends on your state. Some states allow uncontested divorces to be finalized without a court appearance if all paperwork is properly completed. Others require at least one brief hearing. When you complete our questionnaire, we'll let you know what to expect regarding court appearances where you file.
Can I change my name as part of my divorce?
In most states, you can request to restore a former name as part of your divorce decree. This is often a simple request or statement in the divorce paperwork. Divorce.com's forms include the option to restore a former name in states that allow it.
What if I don't know where my spouse is?
If you can't locate your spouse, many states allow you to proceed through an alternative form of service, such as service by publication, which involves publishing a legal notice and following specific procedures set by your state. Our support team can explain how this works with Divorce.com.
