PRIMARY SOURCES

Official forms and source references

Rules, forms, fees and local procedures can change. These links are the controlling starting points; the explanations on this site are preparation guidance, not a substitute for the current source.

Which forms can this service prepare?

10 selected PDFs are available. A selected opening petition or complaint is included. It is a working draft, not the complete filing packet. Known factual blanks transfer from your interview. Answer the reviewed remaining questions in the workspace; unreviewed source fields and outside requirements remain separate.

SELECTED FORMS

Documents in the current release

The app selects from this list using supported state, role and route facts. It does not add every listed document to every case. Read each original and all the limits below. Confirm this scope before paying for preparation.

Preparation details & requirements

What to review

Draft of the redacted petition only. Literal ordinary fields and explicit user choices may be completed; preserve all source wording. Sign only after checking every statement and follow the notarial instructions. No residence address is inferred from a mailing address. Reviewed remaining questions can be completed explicitly in the preparation workspace. Unreviewed source fields, required attachments, signatures and actual court steps remain separate.

Source conditions

  • Printed paragraph7 states no children under 18 OR still in high school. Adult high-school students require separate review and this specific template may not fit.
  • Redacted copy contains birth year and last four SSN digits only; the unredacted AOC-252A copy requires separate confidential treatment.
  • Native mutually exclusive choice groups use checkbox flags with different export states; normalize/test choice widgets before exposing these questions.
  • Signature and notarial blanks are not editable questions and remain empty.
  • Local rules, financial exchange, filing/serve requirements and precise court designation must be independently confirmed.

Preparation details & requirements

What to review

This is a selected official form draft, not a complete filing packet. Review every answer and obtain the other required forms and local supplements. Legal requests, attestations, signatures, notarial acts, clerk issuance and proof of service are not automated. Only the reviewed factual fields transfer automatically. Complete every other original blank, legal choice and required attachment separately. No signature, oath, service event or court order is created.

Source conditions

  • This summons accompanies a separately prepared complaint; it does not start a divorce by itself or replace required petition documents.
  • Clerk issuance date, clerk/deputy signature, service-agent details and proof of service are protected and never generated.
  • Court and division remain manual to avoid inventing a judicial assignment.

What to review

Optional fee-waiver request for a person seeking relief from court costs. Enter actual financial figures and totals, check current court instructions, and execute the affidavit as required.

AUTOMATIC FACT TRANSFER

Enter common facts once; review every original question.

  1. 01

    Answer factual questions

    Provide legal names, your filing role, county, contact information and available marriage details. Unknown facts stay unresolved; the tool does not choose legal requests for you.

  2. 02

    Review the selected document

    Complete reviewed remaining questions explicitly in the preparation workspace, then compare every applicable answer with the original. Unreviewed fields, signatures, outside documents and court actions remain separate.

  3. 03

    Find the rest of the packet

    Use current official instructions for the petition if missing, confidential sheets, financial disclosures, summons or service, local orders, parenting, support, agreements and final papers.

  4. 04

    Download and verify

    Review all pages and required attachments. Leave signatures, oaths, notary, court and service-event blanks for the appropriate person and real event. Downloading a draft does not file a case.

BEFORE PURCHASE OR FILING

Confirm that this exact scope fits your situation

  • The listed opening document and remaining official packet match the intended procedure
  • The supported individual role, legal relationship and county match the actual case
  • This initial preparation route has no minor children; child-related routes and dependent-child questions need the appropriate official process
  • The correct court, current filing fee, local supplements and accepted filing method are confirmed
  • All remaining legal requests, financial schedules, attachments and printed assertions will be reviewed and completed manually
  • Every signature, notarization, oath, service event and court entry will reflect the appropriate person and an actual event
  • Current financial, local and final-judgment documents are obtained from the official packet
BEFORE FILING

Check your local requirements

Confirm the current forms, correct filing office and accepted filing method with the official court or clerk. A downloaded draft is not a filed case.
