We have automatized many aspects of our lives thanks to the Internet, like paying the bills, doing our tax preparation, buying anything we want, meeting our prospective partner, getting married with him/her and also getting an online divorce.
It is indeed hard and painful to believe that what started like a love story ends up in a court room or over the Internet. It is unfortunately common seeing that many marriages do not end up in amicable terms at all, and seem more like straight out from a tabloid story of money and property struggling and confrontation of personal affairs.
These types of cases are not the best candidates for a free online divorce. If your case is complex and troublesome, then read no more and move ahead towards how to get a divorce lawyer. Online divorces are a fast, simple and affordable solution for uncontested cases, that is, when both spouses agree on finishing their marriage in amicable terms.
Fast, simple and cheap: seems exactly what you are looking for to get through such a difficult process, but this works? Is this legal? I do not need a lawyer at all? Can I do it all by myself without paying to a service?
Online divorce services are meant exactly to supply the presence of a third member: The lawyer; for those couples who can not pay for one. You can get all the divorce papers online, that usually consist of answering a sort of interview-questionnaire about the divorce and family situation (alimony, child support, custody, etc.).
You have to fill these documents -as you may know, documentation is vital for any legal process- and pay the demanded fee, which is approximately $250 to $350 (the seventh or eights part of the fees of a divorce lawyer). The rest is all on them.
Once they get your information, they put them in legal forms and do the respective paperwork according top the state and federal laws. They assure that there is no single mistake in your forms, and that is why they are more efficient than DIY divorces.
After this, they send the prepared documents by email or e-mail to be signed, notarized and file.
The presence of any or both parties is unlikely to be required. However, keep in mind there are always some exceptions. |
