Frequently asked questions
- Can I get divorced without a lawyer?
- Many uncontested divorces are handled pro se. If there are contested assets, support disputes, or custody conflict, consider consulting an attorney.
- What is the difference between a petition and a response?
- The petition starts the case (you are the petitioner). The response is what you file if your spouse filed first and served you.
- Does this cover custody?
- It includes a custody framework, and a dedicated custody-agreement generator is available for parenting plans and schedules.
