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?

1 selected PDF is available. These selected supporting PDFs are free and are not sold as a $39 divorce packet. Only a summons and any listed supporting sheets are included. The divorce petition or complaint is not included. Only reviewed factual blanks transfer automatically; complete legal choices and other original questions in the downloaded PDF.

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. These selected companion documents are free.

What to review

Only the listed factual fields are populated. Review the entire form and complete all remaining facts, legal choices, requests, service steps and required local supplements. Sign and date only as the form directs; court and notary fields remain blank. The clerk must issue this summons. This document alone is not a divorce complaint and cannot complete a divorce filing. 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

  • No divorce complaint or full legal packet included.
  • Both original pages, including return-of-service page, are retained; all clerk issuance, endorsement, service returns and acceptance/signature fields remain blank.
  • Court division, case number, issue dates, service method and attorney fields remain manual.
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

    Reviewed caption and other specifically mapped factual blanks receive the available answers. The source is not a complete guided questionnaire. Complete remaining legal choices and original blanks in the downloaded interactive PDF.

  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.

Where to go when the selected draft is not enough

The app currently offers a free summons, not the divorce complaint. The official packet and Guide & File are separate options. Read the packet’s warnings about alimony and property rights before using it.

Use the official court finder for local instructions and the fact-sheet example to separate verified facts from questions still needing review. Nothing in this link expands the document list, county eligibility or purchase scope above.

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.
