Why does my location matter for online divorce?

Timelines

Every state has different 'Cooling Off' periods. California requires 6 months; others require 60 days. We track these deadlines for you.

Cost

Filing fees vary by county. A divorce in Florida costs different court fees than one in New York. Our calculators adjust to your zip code.

Rules

Community Property vs. Equitable Distribution. Knowing your state's specific asset division laws is critical to a fair settlement.

I had a real conversation, not with a lawyer, but someone who was empathetic to my situation and listened. We ended up only spending about $2K on the divorce and was in front of the judge for 10 minutes - Done!
