The Easy DIY Divorce Difference? Not so fast!
If you’ve spent any time on our site, you’ll quickly discover our position on the easy DIY divorce options available in Virginia. Unless you’re a serial divorcist (it’s not a word for a reason), this is one DIY project you should pass on. If only it were as simple as filling out a couple of forms. For the absolute simplest of divorces, that may be the case. Some courts offer a mad-libs DIY divorce option, but nearly all DIY divorce paper mills - have one thing in common: They cannot provide you with legal advice - at least they won’t at the so-called affordable options they provide. While free is indeed affordable, you’re getting what you pay for.
How does the saying go? Regarding the important things in life, you should seek quality over quantity. Sure, you can pay a hundred or so dollars for a short stack of fill-in-the-blank or one-size-fits-many divorce papers, or you can pay one low, flat-rate fee and get it right the first time. We do it for you for less.
The following is a list of the benefits touted on a competitor’s DIY divorce site and how we compare:

CONTESTED DIVORCES SHOULD BE A COURSE OF LAST RESORT!
We don’t disagree with our competitors on this assertion. Contested, fault-based divorces in Virginia cost $10-15k on average (for each party) but can cost a lot more depending on your circumstances. They are, indeed, stressful and wasteful - but necessary in certain situations. If you are unsure whether an uncontested, no-fault divorce is an option for you, please call us at (757) 363-0077 to learn more!
We look forward to working with you!
Frugal Legal Services
We tailor your divorce documents to the court in which we file on your behalf.
An attorney drafts and files all of your divorce and separation documents for you. We provide detailed instructions along the way, but we file and finalize your divorce for you.
You can call, text, or message your attorney via your secure client portal. If you need to schedule a virtual consultation for one-on-one legal advice with your attorney, you can schedule an appointment online or by calling the office. We are a text, phone call, or message away. No support tickets are needed - you will work directly with your licensed Virginia family law attorney.
One flat fee with no hidden charges. What the other places aren’t telling you is that you will need to file with the court, which isn’t free. You may need to serve your spouse if they refuse to cooperate. Our flat fee includes your filing fee and attorney representation for your uncontested, no-fault divorce - with no hidden charges.
We, too, offer representation for one full year from your date of purchase. If you are unable to file within that year for any reason, you can pick up where you left off for the cost of a filing fee. We maintain your documents in digital format for five years from when your divorce is finalized.
You will receive your personalized divorce documents, drafted by your licensed Virginia family law attorney quickly - usually within 1-2 days.
You won’t need detailed filing instructions. We do that part for you.
You can also complete everything from the comfort of your own home. You can consult with your licensed Virginia family law attorney via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
Free, vetted law firm referrals should you need a local attorney. We offer representation in contested family law matters if you live in or near Coastal Virginia (Hampton Roads/Tidewater). The same attorney you’ve worked with can manage even the most challenging contested divorce matters.
