Frequently asked questions

It's a divorce where both spouses agree on the big questions: how to split what you own and owe, and (if you have kids) custody and support. Since there's nothing for a judge to settle, it's faster and cheaper, and you usually don't need a lawyer.

Yes. Your information is encrypted and stored securely, we never sell it, and you can ask us to delete your account at any time. Our Privacy Policy has the details.
