What is Online Divorce?
Online divorce is a popular and cost-effective alternative to traditional lawyer-led divorce.
Laura Wasser, Chief of Divorce Evolution, Divorce.com
How does the online divorce process work
The legal process of online divorce is exactly the same as traditional lawyer-assisted divorce. The main difference is online divorce tends to be easier, involve less conflict, and is far more cost-effective than lawyer-led divorce.
How does online divorce reduce conflict
Online divorce providers like Divorce.com use software and automation to generate divorce documents that can be filed with the proper court, instead of relying on lawyers.
Don't I need a lawyer to get divorced
This is a common misconception, but you don't need to hire a lawyer to get divorced. Divorce is a legal process governed by the state. Lawyers can represent your interests in a divorce if you and your spouse have disagreements. Lawyers also commonly help navigate the legal process, but at a much higher cost than most online divorce providers.
What is divorce documentation?
One of the key parts of the divorce process is documenting all your assets, debts, income, and expenses. This determines several important parts of the divorce settlement like spousal support and how assets and debts are split.
How long does online divorce take?
Filing for divorce online can take about half an hour. It may require a longer waiting period if you need to locate documents or get in contact with your partner. If you have any questions, Divorce.com offers 24/7 support throughout the process. You should be able to complete the entire process in one sitting.

Whether you choose to pursue a traditional divorce assisted by a lawyer or an online divorce solution like Divorce.com, a solid understanding of the process will help you navigate your divorce with certainty and confidence.
1
File Initial Petition with the Court
Filing the initial petition with the proper court is the first step in any divorce proceeding. You, the petitioner (in legal terms) are informing the state that you intend to end the marriage.
2
Documentation
The Four Corners of Divorce
Documentation determines how assets and debts will be divided, as well as how spousal support and child support will be calculated. Outside of child custody and child support, there are four fundamental components that make up a divorce agreement:
Assets: What you own
Debts: What you owe
Income: What you earn
Expenses: What you spend
3
Negotiation
Once you've documented everything, you and your spouse must decide and agree to dividing the assets and debts, spousal support, child support, and custody (if any).
4
File the Final Divorce Paperwork
Filing the final paperwork with the court is the last step of a divorce proceeding. Once the final paperwork is filed and accepted by the court, and the court issues its judgment, and you are officially divorced.
