Well let’s clear up a few things first. An online divorce is one you obtain by going online as you use the internet. Such divorces are legal, safe, cheap and hugely popular.
There is an argument which says you can’t go wrong with an internet divorce. Well that needs some explaining. Divorce is a State matter and all State courts have a definite way of handling divorce. They use precise forms with precise words and the precise spelling and writing of words. If you use the wrong form or the wrong wording or spelling of the words, the court will reject your application. So you’ll have to re-apply and in that sense, you can’t go wrong.
Obviously
an online divorce is legal as not only do courts allow a divorce to be applied for online, the courts actively promote such an activity. An online divorce helps the divorce courts. They can be stretched to the limit handling thousands of cases. Anything which streamlines the procedure has to be of benefit to the courts.
And they don’t want applications using the wrong form or wording. So the courts make available the various forms plus advice on how to complete each form. Courts can’t give legal advice such as you would receive from a lawyer but a court can advise which of the appropriate documents you should use and how they should be completed. But there is no need to contact the court. Every question you might have is answered in the free documents provided online here at divorceguide.com.
An internet divorce is safe. It’s not your divorce application which decides the issue but rather the court. Once a judge agrees to a divorce application being granted, the divorce is issued. There is no difference between a lawyer making an application on your behalf and you making that same application online. Oh, except that the costs could be considerably different. You must pay the court’s administrative fee in any case but you can certainly avoid any lawyer’s fees.
An online divorce is almost cost free. The admin charges mentioned above will always apply. Most States charge a few hundred dollars when you file your divorce application. But apart from these compulsory fees, there are no costs. The documents can be downloaded free as can the instructions and guidelines. It is arguably the cheapest method of obtaining a divorce.
Is it popular? Most definitely yes. Thousands of couples are choosing to file for an online divorce. Couples without children or joint assets or couples who have reached an agreement about these matters are the ideal candidates to go online. And the word is spreading. With web sites such as divorceguide.com providing all the necessary information and more, you can join the vast number of people obtaining their divorce via the internet.
Study the documents, find out what your State requires in terms of residency rules and then download the appropriate forms, complete them and make your application.
