Your divorce plan, in the order things happen
A wedding has a checklist. So should this. Answer a few questions and you get one list, in order, from the first week to the year after, with the page for each step one click away. Tick things off as you go. Your ticks are kept only in this browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.
This is an organizer, not legal advice. It does not choose your forms or tell you what your state’s law means for your case. What it does is put the steps most people go through in a sensible order, and show the facts your state publishes next to them, so that you are never wondering what comes next. Every step links to a page on this site where the detail lives, with its sources.
Where the state facts come from
The filing fee, waiting period, residency and e-filing lines above are read live from Divorce laws by state, where each one is traced to the state’s own court or statute pages, so a correction there shows up here too. Fees change and many vary by county, so confirm with your court clerk before you file. When we find something wrong, it goes on Where we were wrong.
