Divorce Kits Free Online
From LoveToKnow Divorce
If you are searching for divorce kits free online, you may not have much luck. However, you can find divorce documents free online that you can print just as you would with a divorce kit.
Save Money with Divorce Kits
Divorcing your spouse is expensive and a divorce kit could help you get the process done without spending a bundle. A lawyer will charge you a fee to complete each form as well as an hourly fee for his time. Not only that, you will still have to pay for court fees as well as the time your lawyer takes to represent you in court, if you choose.

A divorce kit includes everything you need to submit to court to start the divorce process. Many divorce kits include the following:
- Instructions on completing the forms
- Glossary of legal terms
- Checklist with what you need
- Parenting plans
- Sample settlement agreement
Forms in the divorce kit:
- Personal property
- Real estate
- Alimony
- Debts
- Name change for wife
- Income taxes
- Child support and custody
Finding Divorce Kits Free Online
Searching for divorce kits free online can be frustrating because many of the web sites in a search engine will indicate that you can download a free divorce kit but it's only the information about the divorce kit that is free. Once you click on the site, you will find that they want you to pay for downloading the kit. Two sites that do have divorce kits free are:
If you live in a state outside of Tennessee or New York, you will most likely have to pay for a kit unless you gather the forms yourself, essentially creating your own divorce kit.
Making Your Own Divorce Kit
Making your own divorce kit is not as difficult as you might suspect. Divorce forms do not cost you anything, you can go to your local court and acquire them free, or you can search for them online. To find out exactly which documents you need you can either call or visit the court you will file for divorce or contact an attorney. You can also find out what you need online at the web site eDivorcePapers.
Legal Help for Less
If you are unsure how to fill out the forms or you have questions about the process but not able to pay the high rates of a divorce attorney, you may be eligible for legal aid. Legal aid is available in many states providing low income individuals with legal help. To find out if there is affordable legal aid in your area visit the LawHelp.org web site. For many of the states listed on this site, you can print out divorce documents along with information about how to obtain help filling them out.
When You Shouldn't Use Divorce Kits
You shouldn't use divorce kits if you and your spouse are unable to come to an agreement on child custody, support and division of assets. Divorce kits are for individuals who do not need mediation and believe that they are able to get their fair share just by talking with their spouse. If you do not fit this description, it's best to either contact legal aid or a divorce attorney, what you receive in the divorce settlement will be well worth the investment.
