What is a divorce kit? Many people look for them on the Internet. A divorce kit is typically a pre-assembled set of forms that can be prepared and submitted to a court to get a divorce. Sounds nice and easy, right? Well, the risky thing about online forms is that they are not all correct, and they do not all comply with local divorce laws, which vary by states and even counties.
If you want a divorce kit, it’s advisable to go to your local divorce court, usually at your county courthouse, and see if they have a kit available or at least the proper forms for your case. Many local courts now offer online forms as well. While these forms may seem more complicated and overwhelming at first glance, they are specially prepared to address any particular requirements where you live. If you submit forms that are not accepted by your local courts, you’ve wasted time and money. It’s better to do it right the first time, even if it takes a little more effort.
