Simple Divorce Papers

It merely refers to the process of hiring professionals to properly prepare all the separation or divorce documents you need. You communicate with this service provider through the Internet. You do not receive legal advice and therefore you do not need to pay out the huge fees necessary when hiring a lawyer. The online service provider is also able to keep costs low typically by delivering your documents via email.

It is all perfectly legal. Think of it like buying one of those do it yourself divorce kits or books and then getting someone who really knows what he is doing to fill it out for you. It’s like paying someone to do your taxes for you. You complete a form on a Web site, pay (usually by credit card) and then just print out the forms when they arrive and file them with the court. If you and your spouse have come to an agreement, or there is simply nothing to fight over, you can use this method to get what is called an uncontested divorce. It is usually a quick, easy and cheap way to proceed.

First of all, be aware that the online divorce service will be able to save you lots of money compared to the cost of a lawyer. However, they have no control over the filing fees charged by the court so find out how much these filing fees are in your jurisdiction so you can budget for them.

Second, if your separation occurred long ago and you have lost touch with your spouse, you will still need an address to send the divorce documents or else you will need to hire a lawyer to obtain a court order. In some jurisdictions a mailing address will do.
