Filing for divorce online has become easier and more accessible than ever. Whether your divorce is uncontested or you’re just starting the process, using online legal divorce forms can save time, money, and stress — if done correctly.
Here’s a quick guide on how to fill them out:
1. Choose a Trusted Platform
Look for reputable legal websites or your local court’s official site. Make sure the forms are state-specific, as divorce laws vary by location.
2. Gather the Necessary Information
Before you start filling out the forms, have the following ready:
Full legal names, addresses, and contact info
Marriage and separation dates
Property and debt information
Child custody/support details (if applicable)
3. Complete the Forms Accurately
Take your time. Double-check:
Spelling of names
Financial disclosures
Custody agreements and parenting plans
Mistakes can lead to delays or rejected filings.
4. Sign and Notarize If Required
Some forms require notarized signatures. Many services offer online notarization, or you can visit a notary in person.
5. File with the Court
Submit the completed forms online if your state allows it, or print and file them at your local courthouse. Pay the required filing fee (fee waivers may be available).
✅ Final Tip:
Even if you’re filing online, it’s smart to consult a divorce attorney — especially if children, property, or support are involved.
