How It Works

We offer an automated tool for completing documents for uncontested, no-fault divorces from the comfort of your home. To use the service, spouses need to be in full agreement concerning all aspects of their marriage dissolution. When there are no disputes, a lawyer is not necessarily required to get an online divorce in Alabama or file in person, as spouses can do so themselves.

Since filling out all the legal papers on your own can be very tiring, and involving an attorney will likely be expensive, a paperwork preparation service is a perfect alternative. With our help, you can obtain the required papers and filing instructions and then file pro se in person or online.

To file for a divorce in Alabama online, you need to follow three simple steps:


Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in Alabama

Filing Requirements

A petitioner must file a Complaint along with other forms in a county where a defendant lives, where they both resided, or where the plaintiff lives if a respondent is not a resident. They can also e-file the papers in the state. When both spouses sign the necessary forms, no service is needed, and the hearing may not be required as well.

Residency Requirements

In Alabama, a plaintiff can file for online divorce at any time, provided the defendant is a resident of the state. If a respondent does not reside within it, a petitioner must have lived in Alabama for 6 months before filing with the court.

Waiting Period

The waiting period in the state is 30 days. It begins on the day of filing for dissolution of marriage, and the court cannot issue a divorce decree until it passes. The minimum time required for an uncontested divorce is, therefore, at least 1 month.

Complete Your Divorce Papers Online

You will only need to complete a comprehensive questionnaire to receive a ready-to-file set of papers for your uncontested, no-fault online divorce. Provide information about yourself and your agreements, and the system will automatically select and fill out the forms with your answers.

We would ask you to specify the date and location of your marriage, your and your spouse’s full names, dates of birth, current addresses, etc. If you have minor children, you will need to indicate similar information for them. Also, it is necessary to fill in the data related to property, debts, and finances. Some additional details may be required depending on your individual case.

You can download your divorce kit online – both the completed paperwork and the instructions for pro se filing – or receive it by mail for a moderate extra fee.

Here is a list of the most commonly required divorce papers in Alabama:

  • Divorce Complaint
  • Certificate of Divorce
  • Answer to Divorce Complaint
  • Final Judgment of Divorce

What if We Have Children?

If you have minor children and have reached an agreement regarding their custody, maintenance, and visitation, you too can take advantage of our service. The list of required documents will be more extensive, but we will not charge you an additional fee.

There are a few factors to consider for divorcing parents:

  • According to the state law, both parents have an equal right to custody. When parents are granted shared legal custody, they can both make decisions on a child’s religion, health, education, and other aspects.
  • If parents share joint physical custody, the child will live with both of them in turns. The amount of time spent in both households can be agreed upon by parents.
  • During the court proceedings, if the parents cannot agree on something, the judge considers the best interest of a child when making decisions regarding them. Many factors are taken into account: the child’s age, needs, the relationship between the child and both parents, the income of each spouse, etc.
  • In the state, child support is paid until the child reaches the age of majority. However, if the child is physically or mentally disabled or studies at college, then the time of payment can be extended.
