How It Works

Our paperwork preparation service only works for a no-fault, uncontested divorce where spouses have already agreed on property division, alimony, and child custody. In such cases, it is possible not to hire an attorney, and couples can opt for a do-it-yourself divorce instead – filing for offline or online divorce in Pennsylvania on their own. It allows spouses to cut expenses significantly and, as they are in agreement, get their marriage dissolution finalized as quickly as the state allows.

Finding and filling out the paperwork is often a tedious task most people dread. This is what our service can help you with. Our software chooses the right set of papers and fills them out with your information based on your answers to our questionnaire. Obtain the completed papers and file without a lawyer in person or online, if this option is available in your county.

To file for divorce in Pennsylvania online, take these 3 simple steps:


Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in Pennsylvania

Filing Requirements

To initiate a divorce case by mutual consent, e-file or submit the initial paperwork in person to the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas in the county where either of you lives. Serve your spouse, complete the mandatory waiting period, submit the remaining paperwork, and get your Divorce Decree.

Residency Requirements

According to Pennsylvania statutes, a couple is eligible to initiate the divorce action in the state only if one or both of them have lived here for at least 6 months prior to filing the Complaint with the local court.

Waiting Period

When spouses agree about the marriage being irretrievably broken, have no disputes, and have filed the necessary forms, the court imposes a 90-day waiting period before the marriage dissolution can be finalized, even without a hearing.

Complete Your Divorce Papers Online

Our system picks and completes Pennsylvania divorce papers for uncontested, no-fault case after you answer a comprehensive set of questions.

As the courts require specific data on various matters, you will see the questions about the date and place of your marriage; full names, addresses, and dates of birth of both parties and their children, if any; detailed information concerning both spouses’ workplaces, income, expenses, marital and separate property; and other details on finances and assets. Additional details may also be required depending on your individual case.

We will notify you as soon as your Pennsylvania divorce kit – the filled-out forms and filing instructions –  is ready. You will be able to download it online from your account and, need be, get it shipped to you for a small extra fee. Some of the forms the package may contain include:

  • Notice to Defend and Complaint for Divorce
  • Affidavit of Consent
  • Certificate of Service
  • Entry of Appearance of Self-Represented Party

What if We Have Children?

Our service is also available for uncontested, no-fault cases with minor children. Provide the details about your kids in the questionnaire, and the system will complete the necessary forms. There will also be additional instructions regarding them in our guide. We do not charge extra for child-related papers.

In Pennsylvania, parents are free to draft their own agreement regarding child custody and support, which they should submit to the court for review. The court is usually inclined to grant the parents shared legal custody – decision-making rights concerning their children – unless it would contradict the child’s best interests. Physical custody is also granted based on what is best for the children.

Parents sharing physical custody must create a custody agreement establishing who will have physical custody of the child at specific times and dates. They must also consider each other’s work schedules, locations of houses and school, etc. There is a separate schedule for holidays, family events, and vacations.

Child support in Pennsylvania is often paid by a non-custodial parent to a custodial one, and the sum paid should be calculated using the PA Support Guidelines. Parents can determine the approximate amount of payment using the Child Support Estimator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, online filing is legal in the state, but may not be available in all counties yet. As we will provide you with filled-out forms in a PDF format, you will be able to choose whether to e-file them or file in person based on the guide you receive.

Filing for divorce by mutual consent without an attorney, you may expect to spend around $500-$600, which would include filing fees, miscellaneous court fees, and the cost of our paperwork preparation services – $139 only. If you hire a lawyer to help with your divorce process, the average cost may be around $11,000 for uncontested cases and $26,000 or more for contested ones.

An uncontested dissolution of marriage in Pennsylvania normally takes approximately 3-5 months. Still, the process can last longer due to a busy court schedule or specific case circumstances. Contested divorces with disputes and litigations can be finalized in six to twelve months or more.

No, a lawyer is not necessarily needed for offline or online divorce if you have resolved all the disputes with your spouse and are ready to file independently. Some counties may not, however, allow e-filing yet. If there are legal matters you are unsure of or the case is contested, it is best to get legal help.

You can update your answers in the questionnaire within the subscription time and get updated forms for no extra charge.
