Common Questions
Before you use these resources.
These resources can help you prepare, but they are not a substitute for advice from an attorney who understands your facts, goals, and risks.
Are these documents legal advice?
No. These materials are general educational resources. They do not create an attorney-client relationship and should not be used as a substitute for legal advice about your specific situation.
Can I use the sample forms for my own divorce?
Sample documents are provided for general understanding. Divorce paperwork can vary based on your county, facts, children, property, debt, support, and court requirements.
Do the spreadsheets predict what a court will order?
No. The spreadsheets are planning worksheets only. They do not predict legal outcomes, court orders, settlement terms, child support, maintenance, or property division.
When should I speak with an attorney?
It is best to speak with an attorney before signing agreements, filing documents, moving out, making major financial decisions, or negotiating parenting and placement terms.
