How some other computer generated divorce services work and why our Uncontested Divorce Service with a licensed North Carolina attorney is cheaper and better.
It is illegal for any one but yourself or a licensed attorney or an assistant under their supervision to prepare or assist you with your divorce or paperwork.
So how are all these other DIY divorce form businesses doing it?
They are likely doing it one of two ways: |
1) they are either ripping you off by selling you a generic fill in the blank packet of forms that you have to fill in and prepare yourself that you could likely have gotten for free or
2) they are using their website to simply transfer your responses to their questionnaire forms with no attorney review or checks for accuracy. Which essentially means, you are doing most of the work that you are supposedly paying them for and you won’t even know if you have done it right.
So what happens if I make a mistake in my responses or I type an incorrect response?
In short, you are likely screwed. Basically, your paperwork will likely be wrong and the results could end up being that best case, maybe you can make corrections and re-file or worst case, you waste your time and money, don’t get your divorce and have to start over.
How is your Uncontested Divorce Service different?
Our forms are not computer generated from your responses alone. They are hand drafted and checked for accuracy by a paralegal and are reviewed by a licensed attorney. In short, our divorce forms and divorce service is likely superior to anything else out there and less expensive as well.
What about other Divorce Services that advertise $150, $120 or less divorces? Are they really cheaper?
Likely not. This is a ‘teaser fee’ or bait and switch move. We consider it a bit dishonest and we choose not to do business like that. The $120 and $150 is likely the legal fee only. You’ll likely have to pay court cost, other fees such as service of process or extra for additional needed services that will put your actual total more than our total flat rate fee of $395 which covers everything needed for a standard uncontested divorce including court cost and service of process fees. We also do not charge an additional fee for simple extra services such as a name change or incorporation of a separation agreement. However, if you are ever quoted a lower total fee than $395 – we will match or beat it if you can provide a copy of the ad or quote. Don’t get suckered by advertisements that don’t tell you the total cost up front.
