An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses have reached full agreement on all terms of the divorce — including property and debt division, spousal support (or mutual waiver), and if applicable, child custody, visitation, and support. Because both parties agree, no judge is needed to decide contested issues, making the process faster, less expensive, and less adversarial. DivorceDoneRight exclusively prepares documents for uncontested divorces.

Yes. DivorceDoneRight produces attorney-drafted templates calibrated to your state's statutes and execution requirements. However, this is a document preparation service, not legal representation, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. We strongly recommend having your completed documents reviewed by independent legal counsel before execution. Proper signing, witnessing, and notarization as required by your state is necessary to make these documents legally effective.

If your divorce becomes contested after you have already filed the documents we prepared, you will need to engage an attorney directly. Petrelli Previtera, LLC can represent you in contested proceedings. Please contact us at petrellit@divorcedoneright.ai for a referral. Note that the document preparation fee is non-refundable once documents have been generated.

While not legally required, we strongly recommend having your documents reviewed by independent legal counsel before signing. This service provides document preparation only — it does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. An independent attorney can advise you on whether the terms you have agreed to are fair and legally sufficient for your specific situation. This is especially important if you have significant assets, retirement accounts, or children.

DivorceDoneRight currently serves 15 jurisdictions: California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Washington D.C. We are actively expanding to additional states.

Because divorce documents are generated specifically for you based on your questionnaire responses, we are unable to offer refunds after document generation. If you experience a technical issue preventing delivery, please contact us at petrellit@divorcedoneright.ai and we will work to resolve it promptly.
