How It Works
Our service is here to provide you with filled-out divorce documents for your uncontested offline or online divorce in Massachusetts.
The main advantage of an uncontested and full-agreement divorce is that spouses can expect it to be a relatively cheap process, which is highly unlikely in contested litigations. One of the reasons is that spouses may avoid hiring a lawyer and can represent themselves pro se.
To help you get ready for this, we can prepare your package of documents for a small fee and within a convenient deadline. You will also receive step-by-step filing instructions as a bonus. Once you have everything you need, file your paperwork in person or online without a lawyer.

Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in Massachusetts
Filing Requirements
You have to file the documents in person or online with the Probate and Family Court in the county where either spouse resides. If a couple has a written separation agreement and starts an agreed-upon divorce, there is no need to serve the respondent. Attend the court hearing and wait for your divorce to be finalized.
Residency Requirements
One of the spouses must currently be a resident of Massachusetts if the grounds for divorce occurred in the state. Otherwise, one spouse must have lived in the state for at least 1 year prior to filing.
Waiting Period
In Massachusetts, the waiting period is called the “nisi period.” Spouses applying for uncontested, no-fault marriage dissolution have to wait 120 days after the hearing date till their marriage is officially terminated.
Complete Your Divorce Papers Online
To get filled-out divorce papers for an uncontested, no-fault divorce, you first need to complete an online questionnaire with the details of your marriage and divorce.
Enter your and your spouse’s full names, dates of birth, and information about your marriage, like when and where it took place. Besides, indicate your current addresses and the addresses of any property you own.
There are also questions about children, such as their full names, birth dates, and where they live. Remember to provide information about any vehicles you own, other assets and debts, financial details, employment, etc.
Once ready, your package of documents will be available for download online. You can also order delivery by mail for an additional fee.

- Joint Petition for Divorce
- Affidavit of Irretrievable Breakdown
- Child Support Guidelines Worksheet
- Financial Statement

What if We Have Children?
Our service can come in handy for couples with and without kids as long as their divorce is uncontested. Besides, we don’t charge extra if our clients have minor children and need help with additional child-related forms.
If you are going to apply for divorce with kids, consider the following aspects:
- The courts are usually inclined to grant shared legal custody (decision-making right) to parents. However, one parent often has more parenting time than the other.
- While determining custody, a judge takes into account the amount of time both parents spend with the child, whether each parent can satisfy the child’s needs, preferences, etc. Children over 14 years old can be interviewed by a judge to record their wishes.
- The child support amount is calculated based on the total income of both parents and the number of children involved. Parents can define the child support amount in their marital settlement agreement. Nevertheless, the court can revise this amount if it considers the terms to be unjust or unsuitable.
