FAQs
Does my divorce qualify?
You qualify if:
- Are filing for what's called an Uncontested Divorce, meaning you and your spouse agree (on assets/debt division, custody, child support, visitation, maintenance, etc.) and there will not be a trial — which is what you want to avoid anyway.
- You are filing in Illinois.
It doesn't matter if you don't know where your spouse is and just want to get divorced, whether you have children, own real estate, have complicated retirement investments, or if there is simply nothing to fight over, LawyerSchmoyer.com is for you.
NOTE: LawyerSchmoyer.com offers divorce services in Illinois only. Please be sure that you will be filing for divorce in the state of Illinois before using our service.
How does It work?
LawyerSChmoyer.com is an online service that prepares divorce papers for cases in Illinois. The service asks you questions just like a lawyer would, and depending on your answers, it may ask more detailed questions—just like a lawyer would. The questions are divided into four categories:
- The Divorce
- Maintenance (alimony)
- Children (custody, visitation, child support, college expenses, health insurance, etc.)
- Property division
After you've answered all the questions, LawyerSchmoyer.com will do all the messy work of preparing your divorce papers.
If you answer a question in a way that would cause a problem in court, the service will alert you to the problem.
Your Illinois divorce papers will be custom-prepared based on the information you provide. Your part is easy. You can arrange your settlement the way YOU want — not the way some lawyer tells you it has to be.
