I was quoted $25,000 by three different attorneys. Using Divorce Partner, I spent $3,200 total — including two consultations, all my court filings, and deposition services. My settlement was exactly what I wanted.
The document wizard was so much simpler than I expected. I filed my own response and it was accepted first try. The attorney consultation gave me the confidence I needed walking into my hearing.
I had no idea what a deposition was. Divorce Partner connected me with a court reporter in my city the same week I needed one. The preparation checklist was invaluable.
