Unlike most companies, we have actually written this page in terms we hope the average person can understand. That’s because we want you to read our terms and conditions. We want you to understand what you’re getting into so you won’t be surprised later. So please take a few seconds and actually read this page.
Here are the basics about what you need to do when it comes to our service:
1. We can’t give legal advice.
We’re a legal document preparation service, which means we’ll help you in every way with the clerical and procedural issues in your divorce. However, we are not permitted by law to provide legal advice. Our process is designed to lead you through the decisions you need to make, but what you decide is entirely up to you. We can’t advise you what you should do, or how you should divide your property, or how a decision may affect your legal rights. If you’d like answers to any of those questions, it would be a good idea to speak with an attorney.
2. We are only responsible for our papers, not for the court’s decisions.
Because we don’t give you legal advice, we can’t accept responsibility for any decisions the court makes. If you want to ask for something in your divorce papers, we’ll include the proper legal clause, but we don’t have any control over whether or not the judge will grant your request. For example, you and your spouse might agree to waive child support. We’ll include that request in your papers, but we can’t guarantee whether or not the judge will agree to it. A judge very well might overrule something you’ve agreed to, especially if it involves children.
3. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure you are qualified to do something.
It is your responsibility to find out whether you qualify to file in a particular state, and whether you have met any and all legal requirements. We provide information and links to the state statutes so you can do that. If you still have questions, it is your responsiblity to consult with an attorney. By preparing your papers based on the information you provide, we are making no representation that you are legally entitled to do something. For example, if you request alimony, we will include that clause in your papers but we are making no representations that you are entitled to alimony. If you claim to be a resident of the state where you’re filing, by preparing your papers as such, we are making no representation that you qualify as a legal resident.
4. Refunds are only provided if OUR papers are rejected.
Finally, you’re paying for our service. If you purchase something from a store and you change your mind later on, you can return the product and the store can sell it again. However, we can’t get back our time, and because of this, once we e-mail your completed papers to you, refunds will ONLY be provided if the Court rejects your paperwork due to our error. Please fully understand BEFORE you use our service that refunds will NOT be provided if your spouse decides not to cooperate, you get back together, you change your mind, or for any other reason.
In short, please make sure you’ve read our website in full and feel confident this will work for you. And above all, please ask if you have any questions. Thanks!
If you don’t understand something about these terms, please let us know. Our goal is to be upfront so you know what you’re getting yourself into. We’re happy to answer any questions you have.
