How does it work?
Your attorney will work with you via email, phone, or video conferencing to create your agreement. After purchasing, you will receive an email with instructions on how to schedule your first appointment.
How do I prepare?
- Draft bullet points for the terms of your agreement.
- Gather documents regarding finances (account statements, property titles, 401(k)s, stocks, debts, etc.). Your attorney will need these to prepare the financial disclosures required to craft your settlement agreement.

Attorney Calculation of Spousal Support or Child Support
Hello Divorce attorneys will help you calculate child support and spousal support for you using the court-approved method in your state, or for temporary support while your case is pending. Most states require this calculation if you have children together with your spouse.
Calculate & File Support Modification

Court filing fees vary by county and state and are not included in the divorce plan price.

My wife and I agreed to a friendly and cheap divorce between us. We filed in South Carolina where we were living at the time of the divorce. Unfortunately, we went through a traditional divorce lawyer and paid her several thousands of dollars to file for a divorce but found out the lawyer only got us to a separation. Then she wanted more money to file a divorce. We were irate about this until we found Hello Divorce. We spoke to Heather and informed her of the situation, and she agreed to help us out and step us through submitting the correct paperwork to finalize our divorce to the state of South Carolina. Hello, Divorce, was fantastic and we really wished we would’ve started and ended with Hello Divorce. I would highly recommend Hello Divorce to anyone that is thinking of beginning a divorce process. Hello, Divorce, will walk you through what is needed and will show you the process to follow. They will save you so much money to settle a divorce and be with you ever step of the way. Hello Divorce can save a couple so much time, money and effort in the process.

Chris Freemott, with Hello Divorce, offered me very helpful, concrete advice, he listened attentively to understand my particular situation and gave me a very clear explanation and understanding of what my options were regarding the division of real estate in my divorce, namely the house, that I hoped to keep. He went even further and wrote a very concise letter outlining the facts with his recommendation that I keep the house. I showed the letter to my lawyer and brought it to mediation where everyone read it. It was not an open/shut situation but I was able to keep the house in the settlement, which was a huge relief and victory. Chris was very cooperative and wonderful to work with. I very much appreciate his advisement and help, it was invaluable to me.

I spoke to Chris before and after my divorce was final. He was knowledgeable, personable and reassuring as I faced the most difficult time of my life! He provided practical guidance to help me make the best decisions moving forward, particularly with regards to my real estate questions. Chris made no promises and urged me to discuss key points with my divorce attorney. Overall, being able to talk to Chris helped me have confidence in the decisions I was making and gave me clarity and confidence that I was moving in the right direction. I cannot say enough about have invaluable that extra attention was in this trying time of my life. Thank you again!

My mind was blown by the real estate consultation i had for FREE withChris Freemott through Hello Divorce. This dude walked me through all my options, helped run the numbers so i could make a practical decision despite all the emotional attachments. He spent additional time with me and emailed me a summary later. What a great service!

Hello Divorce is incredibly accessible and has truly streamlined the process for me.I’ll point out just a few things that were especially important to me. The FREE 15-minute planning call is a phenomenal first step down the road to divorce. I came with some questions prepped (because I’m a planner), but even if you don’t know where to begin, give them a call. The reps will walk you through the process and save you from hours of searching the web. The ease with which I can schedule time with a very approachable attorney and/or divorce coach means I can get the help I need when I need it in the increments desired for a fair fee. If I only need half an hour of time with the attorney, that’s what I buy. I come prepared to work and I often get everything done right then. Neil has answered every one of my questions quickly and clearly, and I always come away feeling like the visit was worth every penny spent. Divorce coach Kim and I planned what the “big talk” could look like, and Kara helped me to reframe the feelings I had moving through the process. We didn’t have to get into old stuff like a therapist would; we just dealt with the current issue, saving me a ton of time and money. The FREE call with the divorce real estate strategist Chris was probably the most fortuitous of interactions with the platform. I didn’t know what he would do for me, but I figured that if he could even confirm that some options were viable for me in my individual situation, it’d be worth the time. Chris gave me clarity and additional options I was not yet familiar with. He also directed me to information about a lien on my home that I did not know about, something which could have potentially stalled a buyout or sale. Great catch that probably saved me, again, time and money. He also provided the exact language to use when contacting the credit union about the “release of lien” from the county recorder. My account coordinator, Courtney, handles my paperwork and lets me know about upcoming webinars. I wish I had some more immediate way to contact her for quick questions. All communication is via email and with time changes/work schedules, that means some questions don’t get answered until the next business day. Not a travesty, but it can slow down the work. Overall, I am pleased with my Hello Divorce experience thus far, and am grateful the whole team is there to support me.

I have spoken with Chris Freemott with Hello Divorce twice regarding my mortgage and divorce.

I am in the middle of a divorce in California and have been using Hello Divorce resources since before I even filed. This platform is incredibly accessible and has truly streamlined the process for me. Yes, I pay for the Pro plan, through which I have a divorce specialist who guides me through the steps, proofs my paperwork before submission to the courts, and answers all of my many, many questions. But I also have taken advantage of the many free and low-cost resources on the Hello Divorce website. There is so much available information and guidance I could talk about, but I’ll try to point out just a few things that were especially important to me. Firstly, the free 15-minute planning call is a phenomenal first step down the road to divorce. I came with some questions prepped (because I’m a planner), but even if you don’t know where to begin, give them a call. The reps will walk you through the process and save you from hours of searching the web. Secondly, the ease with which I can schedule time with a very approachable attorney and/or divorce coach means I can get the help I need when I need it in the increments desired for a fair fee. I love that I don’t have to deal with a retainer or pay for so many hours of work if I don’t need it. If I only need half an hour of time with the attorney, that’s what I buy. I come prepared to work and I often get everything done right then. Neil has answered every one of my questions quickly and clearly, and I always come away feeling like the visit was worth every penny spent. Use their attorneys to get quick answers for a reasonable fee in the privacy of wherever you want to take the call. HD divorce coach Kim and I planned what the “big talk” could look like, and Kara helped me to reframe the feelings I had moving through the process. We didn’t have to get into old stuff like a therapist would; we just dealt with the current issue, saving me a ton of time and money. Moreover, the free call with the divorce real estate strategist Chris was probably the most fortuitous of interactions with the platform. I had received a free home equity buyout analysis early on in the process, which was good information. One day, months later, while clicking on the website, I found a link for a free call with Chris. I honestly didn’t know what he would do for me, but I like information and figured that if he could even confirm that some options were viable for me in my individual situation, it’d be worth the time. By happy accident, I had this wonderful (FREE!) Zoom with someone who gave me clarity andadditional options I was not yet familiar with. Chris also directed me to information about a lien on my home that I did not know about, something which could have potentially stalled a buyout or sale. That was a great catch that probably saved me, again, time and money. He gave me the exact language to say when contacting the credit union about the “release of lien” from the county recorder, and I am getting that lien taken care of. As well, my account coordinator, Courtney, keeps me informed as to the status of my paperwork and informs me of any upcoming webinars that might be useful. My only criticism of working with the coordinator is that I wish we had a chat function or some more immediate way to contact her for quick questions. All communication is via email and with time changes/work schedules, that means some questions don’t get answered until the next business day. Not a travesty, but it can slow down the work. Overall, I am pleased with my Hello Divorce experience thus far, and while I don’t want the divorce process to drag on for much longer, I am grateful the whole team is there to support me along the ride.

So quick and easy, I can't recommend this site enough. I worked with Jenn who was crazy fast at responding and very helpful. I felt like I barely had to do anything, it was so easy. Plus, overall it was very inexpensive and everything went extremely smoothly. No dealing with the courts or filling out paperwork incorrectly and having to spend money and time fixing everything. You can't go wrong with this site, especially if you know you have an uncomplicated divorce. 10 out of 10!
