How to Use the Internet for Divorce

by Heath Hillman on Jul.08, 2009, under Advice to Couples

Divorce is never a positive issue. The thought of it alone scares some people especially those who see marriage as a lifetime commitment. For both couples and children, going through divorce means having to deal with a lot of emotional stress.
It can be very difficult to face the divorce process right after making the decision to end one’s marriage.  The decision making aspect may have been easy but the process that follows will surely be emotionally draining and time consuming.  Lucky if both spouses are civil towards each other, there is a good chance that negotiations can run smoothly for the benefit of everybody.  Unfortunately if the couples remain hostile towards each other, the divorce process may take a long time to complete and may entail a lot of expenses in terms of legal fees.
Couples who don’t have issues with each other and their children can get help from the internet in accomplishing their needed forms.  There are now several websites that offer downloadable divorce forms.  These forms are the standard ones and are considered valid by the courts.
This only means that you can make your divorce a do it yourself project in terms of the paper requirements.  By utilizing the services of these helpful websites, one can proceed with filing the divorce in less time and with less money involved.  Many couples who have turned to the online divorce forms were very relieved with their divorce. Not having to pay high attorney’s fees in just accomplishing the forms is happy news already.
In using the resources available on the internet, couples have a choice between downloading individual forms and ordering a divorce kit.  Those who prefer the individual forms will have to pay separately for each document which can make it expensive.  On the other hand, the divorce kit being offered online these days already contains the complete forms depending on a spouse’s filing status.  This is a more affordable option.
The basic forms included are the petition for divorce, answer to petition, waiver of acceptance of service, marital separation agreement, financial statement forms, child custody forms, petition for name change, certificate of corroborating witness, notice for hearing and certificate of divorce.  The petition for name change only applies for the wife who may want to use her maiden name again after the divorce.
Divorce kits may also contain frequently asked questions and answers as well as instruction on how to fill up the forms.  Ideally, it would be best to make copies of the different forms before filling them up. In this way, you still have an extra form to use in case you make a mistake in writing some information.  If you’re using the downloadable forms, though, it would be easy to have them printed right away at home or in your office.
With these online forms now within easy reach, divorcing couples need not worry too much about accomplishing their legal papers.  Perhaps the only basic requirement here is to know how to read and follow instructions carefully.

Steps to your uncontested divorce.

by Heath Hillman on Mar.19, 2009, under Husband Talk

Speaking as a divorced husband I can honestly say that you are never completely prepared for a divorce. No matter how many scenarios you play out in your mind there will always be things you can not anticipate. The best solution for any divorce is to try to be prepared as possible, but knowing that you have not covered everything and that keeping communication open and trying to keep the situation as amicable as possible with your spouse will only benefit you in the end through helping to speed up the process and making the damage done as minimal as possible. I do recommend that if you and your spouse are on decent speaking terms trying to use the uncontested divorce papers available online to dissolve the marriage. The reason being is that sometimes bringing in a lawyer can pit couples against each other as your counsel will almost always advise to take a firm stance up front to safe guard yourself, but this can often lead to a breakdown in what communication you do have and cause the divorce process to be extended. This only benefits the lawyer and as the more time he spends on your divorce the more he makes. If you are still skeptical about the online divorce kits, don’t be. The uncontested divorce law was designed to help make things easier and being able to get your forms from the internet is just the next natural step in a forward progression. If you and your spouse really want to get divorced purchase divorce forms online and go through them together so you can both see what you will need to agree upon in order to complete your divorce.  Think of it as a practice run.  Don’t rush though it as you will have things you may not agree on.  Just remember to take time to step back even for a few days to let your emotions subside before you sit down with your spouse again.
