When looking at the do-it-yourself divorce options online, it’s common to feel overwhelmed. There are many services out there that vary in quality, and since it’s such an important decision, you want to make sure that you choose wisely. After all, some sites can cut corners on checking the accuracy of their forms while offering little in way of support. When you’re already dealing with the emotional turmoil of divorce, that only makes a tough situation tougher.

But DIY divorce doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, one such site, CompleteCase, makes it rather simple. 

How It Works

CompleteCase offers a simple and relatively inexpensive process that gives you finished divorce documents in as little as 20 minutes, though this will vary somewhat based on your relationship’s unique situation. 

Using the CompleteCase interface, you submit to a short online interview, answer each question honestly, and obtain your results almost instantly. The site offers forms customized to each client’s state, children, income, assets and any other factors involved in the case. It really is as simple as following instructions, printing, signing and filing with the court.

While the company’s website touts appearances on such programs as Good Morning America and news shows for all the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) as selling points, the real tidbit that clients will find the most appealing is the save-as-you-go process.

If you don’t have all the answers or you’re just weighted down by the emotional challenges present when you file for divorce, you can take a break from the proceedings, fix something to eat, watch a favorite show, or have a good cry, and the forms will be waiting on you, ready to finish when you’re feeling up to it.

And Perhaps The Biggest Benefits…

Many sites offer a forms completion service, but they’re ill-equipped to handle any questions and concerns that you may have as you’re filling out the forms. CompleteCase is one of a handful that offer phone and email support from experienced legal professionals as well as access to local attorneys. 

Last but not least, if you have to make changes throughout the process — and many of us who’ve experienced divorce know how common this is — you can do so at no extra charge. 

In Summary

While I would stop short of saying that it’s the best site on the Internet for DIY divorce, it certainly stands out. There are a few other sites, like iDivorceForms, LegalZoom, and TotalDivorce that you may wish to consider as well, but CompleteCase is certainly in it with these other top sites.
