we will have you complete the Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of
Court Costs form

collect any county specific documents that need to be filed along with your
petition
- Step #3- US Legal PRO will
create eFiling account for you in State's electronic filing
management system
- Step #4- US Legal PRO will
create filing packet online that is ready to be submitted
- Step #5- US Legal PRO will
email you the summary of the packet for your approval. You will review the
divorce petition packet and request changes if needed
- Step #6- US Legal PRO will
tell you how to create a payment account. You will create a payment account
from where the court will deduct filing fee. Again, this is NOT
our fee, you cannot avoid it (unless you ask us to file court fee waiver) and court
will directly charge your card - not us
- Step #7- You will give us
approval to eFile your divorce petition packet

eFile your petition
- Step #9- We will wait for 1 to
3 days for the court to approve the petition

Of Service Form, Final Decree of Divorce Form, Suit Affecting the Family
Relationship (If you have children), Prove up Script, Instructions
Remaining Your Portion of the steps
- Step #11- After court accepts
your petition, you will give your spouse "Legal Notice". You can give your
spouse Waiver of Service Form (from step #10) if your spouse is willing to
sign in front of a notary. If your spouse is not willing to sign the
waiver, you can hire a process server to give him/her Legal notice. Once
your spouse is notified, if you need help filing the proof of legal notice
to the court, we can do it for you for our standard eFiling cost.
- Step #12- You and your spouse
will complete and sign Final Decree of Divorce Form (from step #10) based
on the understandings you have reached with each other. This is an
important form and you can take your time to complete this form because
states require you to wait 60 days from the day your original petition is
accepted until the day when your divorce can be finalized.
- Step #13- As you are waiting,
It is a great idea to call the district clerk's office where your petition
is filed to understand and verify the remaining steps as sometimes there
could be additional county-specific requirements. As you are nearing the
end of 61 days waiting period, call the clerk's office and find out the
days and times court hears Uncontested divorce cases
- Step #14- Go to the court on
one of the days when the court hears uncontested divorce cases and present
your documents. Just to be on the safe side, take 3 copies of all the
documents to the court. Finish your divorce by turning in your Final Decree
of Divorce that the judge signed to the Court Clerk
