Uncontested vs Contested Divorce in New Jersey
An uncontested divorce is when the couple have come to an agreement regarding the issues of their divorce such as:
Child support and visitation
Child custody
Property and debt division
Alimony
If your spouse doesn’t agree with any of these issues, the divorce is a contested one. This type of marriage termination is longer than an uncontested one as it requires many more numerous court hearings. With an uncontested divorce, you even may not even have to go to trial. However, a contested divorce is impossible without the trial process. Furthermore, you are not required to hire a third person to regulate your proceedings in an uncontested divorce, but an attorney and mediator are required in a contested one.
Considering all these, we can confirm that an uncontested divorce is the best way to legally complete your marriage within the shortest time.
Uncontested Divorce in New Jersey
As we have already stipulated, an uncontested divorce is the easiest way to terminate a marriage. However, there are several grounds and requirements such as:

Constant drunkenness;

Rules for child support in New Jersey
In the New Jersey State, both parents are responsible for the child’s wellbeing and prosperity. After the divorce process, parents still have equal rights to the child, according to the county legislation. Anyway, the court will act according to the child’s best interest by taking into consideration factors such as:
Communicative skills of both spouses
Presence of domestic violence towards one of the spouses
Relations with the child
Child’s wishes and the grounds for such a choice
Physical state of both spouses
Number of children
Age of the children
Income rate of both spouses
Future financial outlook of both spouses
In case of a default divorce, the mediation process regarding child custody is a must-have. The court will definitely require it if you have any misunderstandings. The rate of financial support and visitation rights are stipulated by the court. If one of the spouses cannot come to the right decision, the mediator or the attorney will assist them.
Rules for spousal support in New Jersey
Spousal support plays a really important role in the whole divorce proceeding. The decision regarding financial support is based on several factors such as::
Health state of both spouses
Tax rate of both spouses
Income of both spouses
Living conditions of both spouses
Future financial outlook of both spouses
Spousal support can be judged by the court and can also vary according to the court decision. If you want to take a bigger sum, you should ask the permission of the court. The Supreme Court has a right to reject or approve the Petitioner’s claim. Remember that all cases are different and you should do your best to agree with your spouse on a reasonable amount of spousal support.
Division of property in New Jersey
Factors that affect the decision regarding property division include:
Duration of the legal marriage
Age and physical state of both spouses
Income of both or spouses
Each spouse’s financial situation
Child custody terms
Tax rate of each spouse
Current value of the property
Individual debts of both spouses
Future financial outlook of both spouses
Property can be marital and separate. Marital property is subject to division while separate property is not. Distinguishing between the two can be a rather tough process, so the more testimony you serve the court, the fairer the division of property is.
Divorce Mediation in New Jersey
Mediation is an alternative to dispute resolution. Mediation helps to reach a mutually acceptable Settlement Agreement. Thus, it is a very important option for an uncontested divorce, especially if issues regarding child custody and property division are involved. In New Jersey, the court requires every couple, who have the default divorce to go to the mediation procedure.
During the mediation session, the spouses meet and negotiate under the guidance of a qualified mediator. The mediator doesn’t order something, but they may provide advice on what decisions are reasonable and express their opinion on what the court would do in certain cases. The mediator basically helps the spouses to build a strategy for the divorce proceeding and reach an agreement.
You can divorce a spouse in New Jersey even if you are unaware of their location. You must first attempt to serve them with all the necessary paperwork. You can ask their family and friends for their possible whereabouts or request the help of the local police. If your attempts are unsuccessful, you can announce a missing person report in the local newspaper with the approval of the court. Such a process can be more complex than a typical divorce process, but it is still possible to terminate a marriage without your spouse’s participation. If you have such a situation, you need to have a consultation with the legal body in advance.
Default Divorce in New Jersey
If one of the spouses does not take part in the divorce process or is not willing to file with the court, such a divorce is known as a default one. In New Jersey, you can divorce even without the agreement of your spouse. You need to file with the court a packet of essential documents and have a court hearing. Grounds for a default divorce are as follows:
Extraordinary violence or cruelty
Deceitful contract
Absence of non-negotiable duties
Excessive drinking
Imprisonment of each spouse in a state or federal correctional institution at the same time of filling out the Petition
Cultural/Religious/Health issues
In New Jersey, the waiting period before the court hearing is usually stipulated by the court, which is approximately six months. The Final Judgement and last proceeding are scheduled after the waiting period.
Default vs No-Fault Divorce in New Jersey
As we have already pointed out, a No-Fault divorce is rather easier than a default one. A default divorce can include some difficulties, and for this reason, it can take longer than the No-Fault one. Furthermore, the No-Fault divorce is much more economical than the default one.
How can I get a Default Divorce Hearing in New Jersey?
The Petitioner must first file with the court in the county that they live in. Then, both spouses should with the court all the valid documents for their particular case, according to the jurisdiction of the particular county. The Petitioner should provide the Defendant with copies of all the documents which are then examined by The Family Court. After all the papers are prepared, the court either approves or rejects them. The next step is to wait for the first hearing. All the following steps depend on the court verdict.
Annulment of marriage in New Jersey
Annulment of marriage determines that the marriage has never been legal. It is not an easier process than the divorce. For instance, there are some grounds for the annulment of marriage:
The marriage process was a fraud
One of the spouses was under the age of 18 at the time of marriage registration
One of the spouses is seriously or mortally ill
The fact of the marriage was forced by one of the spouses
The court will recognize every single issue before giving the final verdict regarding the annulment in New Jersey.
Legal Separation in New Jersey
The requirements for legal separation are almost the same as for the regular divorce procedure. The main difference is that legal marriage does not terminate a marriage and the spouses remain legally married. The spouses are not allowed to remarry or live together with another person else until their marriage is finally terminated according to the current legislation in the New Jersey State.
Same-Sex Divorce in New Jersey
Same-sex marriage and divorce were recognized by the legal Superior Court of New Jersey in 2017. The divorce process is the same as for any other regular divorce procedure. Nowadays, same-sex couples have the same rights as any other citizen of the New Jersey State and can have the same citizen position as the typical resident of New Jersey.

7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.
Summary:
Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by calling our Customer Care
Center at 877-483-0117. In the unlikely event that the Company Customer Care Center is unable to
resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if Company has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you
after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration
or in small claims court rather than in a court of general jurisdiction.Arbitration is less formal
than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury,
allows for more limited discovery than a court does, and is subject to very limited review by courts.
Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and
class actions are not permitted. While in some instances, upfront costs to file an arbitration
claim may exceed similar costs to bring a case in court, for any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed
$75,000, Company will pay all costs of the arbitration. Moreover, in arbitration you may recover attorney's fees from
Company to the same extent or more as you would in court. The arbitrator shall apply the same limitations
period that would apply in court.
Under certain circumstances (as explained below), Company will pay you more than the amount of the
arbitrator's award and will pay your attorney (if any) his or her reasonable attorney's fees if the
arbitrator awards you an amount greater than what Company offered you to settle the dispute.
You may speak with independent counsel before using this Site or completing any purchase.
Arbitration Agreement:
(a) Company and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us in small claims court or before a single arbitrator.
The types of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted.
It applies, without limitation, to:
claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract,
tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;
claims that arose before these or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to
advertising);
claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member
of a certified class;
and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to " Company," "you," and "us" include our
respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders,
predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or
beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us.
Beneficiaries include, but are not limited to, spouses, children, dependents, or others named in divorce
documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, or, where the amount at issue is within the venue’s small claims court’s jurisdiction, either party may demand small claims court in lieu of arbitration upon receipt of a Notice of Dispute.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal,
state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.
You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by
jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction or website use in
interstate
commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this
provision. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms.
(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute
("Notice") to the other party. A Notice to Company should be addressed to: Notice of Dispute, General Counsel,
DivorceFormsFiller
16192 Coastal Hwy
Lewes
DE 19958
(the "Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the
claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Company and you do not reach an
agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an
arbitration proceeding or demand that the matter proceed in small claims court in lieu of arbitration, should the Demand be within the venue’s small claims jurisdiction. During an arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you
shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you
or
Company is entitled.
(c) Should neither party demand small claims court, after Company receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly
reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $75,000.
(Currently, the filing fee for consumer-initiated arbitrations is $200, but this is subject to change by
the arbitration provider. If you are unable to pay this fee, Company will pay it directly after receiving
a written request at the Notice Address.) The Company will not reimburse you for arbitration fees should you commence arbitration after it submits a demand for small claims court in lieu of arbitration. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules
(the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"), as modified by these Terms, for all
claims under $75,000, and the applicable rules as determined by the AAA for all claims of or above $75,000,
and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the
AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide,
except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provision and
the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of paragraph (f) are for the court to decide. Unless Company and
you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your contact address.
If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the
basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as
established
by the AAA Rules. If you choose to proceed either in person or by telephone, we may choose to respond only by
telephone or submission. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right
to a hearing. The parties agree that in any arbitration of a dispute or claim, neither party will rely for
preclusive effect on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration of any
dispute or claim to which Company was a party. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Company will pay
all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the
notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the
relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set
forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA
Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise
your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek relief
valued at more than $75,000 (excluding attorney's fees and expenses), the payment of these fees will be governed
by the AAA rules.
(d) For claims under $75,000 that proceed in arbitration, if, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim,
the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Company's last written settlement
offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then Company will:
pay you either the amount of the award or $2,000 ("the alternative payment"), whichever is greater;
and pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorney's fees, and reimburse any expenses
(including expert witness fees and costs), that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating,
preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration (the "attorney's payment").
If Company did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you and your
attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney's fees, respectively, if the
arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to
the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney's fees at any
time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling
on the merits. In assessing whether an award that includes attorney's fees or expenses is greater than the
value of Company's last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall include in his or her calculations
only the value of any attorney's fees or expenses you reasonably incurred in connection with the arbitration
proceeding before Company's settlement offer.
(e) The right to attorney's fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (d) supplements any right to attorney's
fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a larger amount under
applicable law, this provision does not preclude an arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you
may not recover duplicative awards of attorney's fees or costs. Although under some laws Company may have a
right to an award of attorney's fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration proceeding, Company will
not seek such an award for claims under $75,000.
(f) An arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only
to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE
THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS
OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY
GENERAL. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than
one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and
would not affect other customers. Neither you nor we may seek non-individualized relief that would affect
other customers. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's
limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed
from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
(g) If the amount in dispute exceeds $75,000 or either party seeks any form of injunctive relief, either party
may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by AAA by a written notice of appeal within thirty
(30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. An award of injunctive relief shall be stayed
during any such appeal. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to AAA rules.
The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of
the appealing party's notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding,
subject to any right of judicial review that exists under the FAA.
(h) Notwithstanding any provision in the applicable Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any
future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link or
telephone number provided herein), that change will not apply to any dispute of which we had written notice
on the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this arbitration provision, any such
termination will not be effective until at least thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination
is provided to you, and shall not be effective as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.

Please read these terms of service carefully before using this site.
1. I understand and agree that Divorce Filler, LLC (“Company” or “Site”) is not a law firm or an attorney,
may not perform services performed by an attorney, and its forms or templates are not the substitute
for the advice or services of an attorney. Rather, I am representing myself in this legal matter.
No attorney-client relationship or privilege is created with Company.
2. If, prior to my purchase, I believe that Company gave me any legal advice, opinion or recommendation
about my legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms or strategies, I will not proceed
with this purchase, and any purchase that I do make will be null and void.
3. I understand that these Terms require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather
than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to me in the event of a
dispute as described in the Company Arbitration Agreement, contained in Paragraph 15 of these
Terms of Service.
4. Subscriptions

subscription is otherwise terminated. If you do not notify us, your credit card will
automatically be charged for the renewal term of your subscription on your Billing Date. If your purchase

5. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification.
EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, I WILL HOLD COMPANY AND ITS
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS HARMLESS FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE, HOWEVER IT ARISES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND ALL RELATED COSTS AND EXPENSES OF
LITIGATION AND ARBITRATION, OR AT TRIAL OR ON APPEAL, IF ANY, WHETHER OR NOT LITIGATION OR ARBITRATION
IS INSTITUTED), WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, OR ARISING OUT
OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CLAIM FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY VIOLATION BY ME OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAWS,
STATUTES, RULES, OR REGULATIONS, EVEN IF COMPANY HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, IF THERE IS LIABILITY FOUND ON THE PART OF COMPANY, IT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT
PAID FOR THE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THERE BE CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE PRIOR
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO ME. THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT APPLY TO NORTH CAROLINA CUSTOMERS.
6. Terms of Use.
I understand that the Site's general terms of use (the "Terms of Use") also apply
to these Terms of Service and in agreeing to these Terms of Service, I acknowledge that I have read and
agree to those
Terms of Use,
which are incorporated herein by reference.
7. Filing Service.
If you choose to purchase our filing services with a divorce package (sometimes called our Platinum Service or Premium Service), the
following provisions apply to you:
You are responsible for paying court filing fees. Depending on your location, that may require that you
obtain money orders or we may invoice you for the fees and pay them on your behalf.
Except as otherwise noted, filing services may include all mandatory or otherwise applicable court fees, expedite fees,
certified copy fees, walk-in fees, courier fees, e-filing fees, service fees, delivery fees, credit card fees, and other
transactional fees we are charged or incur on your behalf. Where fees are estimated, the difference between the actual fees and the amount charged will be retained as a convenience fee.
You may make unlimited changes to your paperwork prior to the initial shipment to you.
You must review and approve forms for use and confirm your and your spouse’s mailing addresses prior
to transmission or shipment for signature.
Once fully signed, we will make your initial filing with the court and either serve the divorce
papers on your spouse or arrange for your spouse’s signature, varying by state. Your spouse must be
willing to sign the paperwork for us to complete this service. Because significant work will have
been performed, your spouse declining to sign the paperwork is not grounds for a refund.
Once your spouse has signed and returned all required paperwork, we will file the spousal documents
with the court.
While we provide instructions, future court filings are your responsibility.
We will attempt to notify you if the documents you or your spouse are due to return are not received
or are received but incomplete. We will retain incomplete documents or documents that cannot continue
in the process for a minimum of 180 days, but may destroy them after that time as we consider the
signatures stale. We will retain only electronic copies. This will necessitate repeating the
signature process if you desire to move forward. Once we destroy documents we consider stale, we
will return associated money orders to you absent you providing and our accepting contrary instructions.
DivorceFiller.com is not responsible for the cost of money orders lost in
return shipping.
As a courtesy, we may extend the time we retain stale paperwork for our subscribers, but cannot file
them absent fresh signatures.
8. MEDIATION TERMS.
If you are offered and/or choose to purchase mediation services, the following provisions apply to you:
Mediators providing services through this site are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice.
Our Mediators are professionals with a wide variety of backgrounds, who are intended to serve as neutral
third parties who can assist with navigating disputes with your spouse. Although some Mediators may
have professional certifications in law, counseling and similar fields, communication with a Mediator
does not establish an attorney-client, therapist-client or doctor-patient relationship. The Company
makes no representations or warranties regarding the background, licensure, competency or abilities of
the Mediators. The Company cannot guarantee your Mediation session(s) will successfully resolve disputes.
Chat-Based Mediation: A chat-based Mediation session is a fast-paced text exchange between users and
Mediators for the purpose of helping parties reach agreements. If you enable a chat-based Mediation Session,
you and your spouse will be connected with a Mediator in a live chat. You understand that if you and
your spouse are unresponsive for over 8 hours during a Mediation Session, the Mediator may close the
session due to inactivity.
Live Mediation: A telephone or video conference Mediation session is a limited-time conversation between
users and Mediators for the purpose of helping parties reach agreements.
YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ALL COMMUNICATIONS DURING THE MEDIATION SESSION WILL BE CONFIDENTIAL AND
THAT YOU WILL NOT PROVIDE SCREENSHOTS, PHOTOS, COPIES, OR THE CONTENT OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS DURING A
MEDIATION SESSION IN ANY COURT PROCEEDING INVOLVING YOUR SPOUSE OR CO-PARENT. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE
THAT, WITH RESPECT TO THIS SECTION, YOUR SPOUSE OR CO-PARENT IS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THESE TERMS WITH FULL
RIGHT AND AUTHORITY TO SEEK AN ORDER ENJOINING YOUR DISCLOSURE IN VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION. The Company
may, but is under no obligation to, bring an action to enforce your compliance with this Section. For
clarity, the foregoing confidentiality commitment extends only to Mediation Sessions involving you, your
spouse or co-parent, and a Mediator, and does not extend to any other communications on the Site.
If you are represented by an attorney, you are solely responsible for contacting, communicating and
receiving any advice from your attorney before entering into an agreement or communication while
engaged with a Mediator.
IF YOU ENGAGE WITH A MEDIATOR, YOU MUST INFORM THE MEDIATOR IF YOU HAVE A CURRENT CIVIL OR CRIMINAL
PROTECTIVE ORDER IN PLACE EITHER PROTECTING YOU OR PROHIBITING YOU FROM CONTACT WITH YOUR SPOUSE OR CO-PARENT.
The Company reserves the right to report to law enforcement and other appropriate state agencies if the
Company has a reasonable suspicion that a child is suffering from emotional abuse, physical abuse or
neglect, or if a Mediator has a reasonable suspicion that an identifiable person is a danger to himself
or herself or to another. Safety is of the utmost importance and violence or threats will not be tolerated.
The Company, however, has no legal obligation to monitor communications. If you receive threats from
your spouse or any other user of the Platform, or if you suspect a child is being harmed, you should
report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
To protect their privacy, mediators may not use their real names.
You expressly agree to pay any and all attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the Company or any of its
officers, employees, agents or representatives, if you seek to compel any of them to testify, respond
to discovery, authenticate communications or produce documentation.
9. Attorney Access Terms.
Attorney access (the “Attorney Access Program”) is provided through Singular Law PLLC (“Singular”). Your
relationship with Singular is governed by their
Limited Scope
Representation Agreement.”) Sessions will be provided by Singular and/or a partnering firm (the “Firm”).
Attorney access is available to the purchasing spouse or individual. If the non-purchasing spouse, or another
family member, wishes to engage in a consultation, such consultation may be available at the discretion of the
Firm.
Please note that DivorceFiller.com does not provide legal services. Attorneys made available through the Legal
Plan are third-party independent contractors who agree to provide legal services directly to you, not through
us, via a separate retention agreement between you and the Firm. Their contact information is provided as
advertising. The attorneys have agreed to provide telephone consultations related to subject matters about which
they represent that they are qualified in jurisdictions where they are admitted to practice. A conflict check
will apply. We will not select an attorney for you. We make no guarantees as to the substance of the attorney's
advice.
Nothing shall be construed to limit your right to retain, at your own expense, an unaffiliated attorney. We
shall not be obligated to pay for any such services.
Exclusions; Conflicts. The following items and matters are specifically excluded from the Attorney
Access Program, and are not to be considered or treated as Plan Benefits in the case as of the Legal Plan
(defined below):
Any action that directly or indirectly involves DivorceFiller.com or any of its parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates, directors, agents, or employees;
Any action that directly or indirectly involves any Firm providing legal services under the Attorney
Access Program; provided, however,that a Firm may, at its sole discretion and risk, represent you in a
matter in which another affiliated Firm is representing another party as legal counsel;
Any matter involving the laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States;
Any matter that, in the Firm's opinion, is frivolous in nature or objective; or
Any case matter or requested service that is determined by the Firm to lack sufficient merit to
warrant pursuit, or that the Firm decides has been raised an inordinate or unreasonable number of times
without a change in circumstances.
If you have purchased or otherwise received attorney sessions, you will be eligible to schedule the number
and length of sessions described in your offer. Sessions will be provided by the Firm.
If you have purchased or received a trial of a legal plan, you will receive a flat fee offering marketed by
Singular (the “Legal Plan”) with sessions provided by the Firm.
Benefits of the Legal Plan. The Legal Plan provides the following benefits (collectively, the
"Plan Benefits"):
Telephone consultations with the Firm, during normal business hours, of up to forty-five
minutes each, limited to one consultation for each new family law legal matter. Telephone
consultations may not include discussion of tax or business-related matters.
Review by the Firm of DivorceFiller.com generated documents. The Firm shall provide one (1)
telephone consultation about the reviewed document, during normal business hours, and advise the
Plan Member on any areas of concern and the legal implications of those provisions and their
conformity to state law.
Review by the Firm of other legal documents of up to ten (10) pages in length. The Firm shall
provide one (1) telephone consultation about the reviewed document, during normal business
hours, and advise the Plan Member on any areas of concern and the legal implications of those
provisions and their conformity to state law.
If a Plan Member engages the Firm for services that are not included in the Plan Benefits
described herein, the Firm shall provide such legal services at a twenty-five (25%) discount
from such Firm's standard rates for representation, as such rates are reported to us;
Not Insurance. The Legal Plan is not a contract of insurance or indemnification insurance
plan, and is not regulated as such. It is a flat fee offering provided by Singular and marketing through
us. We are not an insurance company and does not guarantee legal representation in every situation. The
Legal Plan provides customers with access to free and discounted legal services from the Firm.
Use.
General Practices. You acknowledge that we may establish general practices and limits
concerning use of the Legal Plan, including without limitation the maximum number of
complimentary attorney consultations you may receive in a given period of time related to one or
all subjects.
Right to Change Practices. You acknowledge that we reserve the right to change these
general practices and limits at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without
notice. However, you have the right to cancel your membership should we materially decrease
benefits.
Responsibility for Misuse. You are responsible for all expenses incurred or other
actions that may occur through your use of a Legal Plan. You must immediately alert us of any
fraudulent, unauthorized, illegal, or suspicious use of a Legal Plan, or any other breach of
security or unauthorized or illegal activity that you reasonably suspect.
Payment
Legal Plan Membership Fees. You will be charged in accordance with the billing terms
in effect at the time of your initial purchase, unless you are notified of a fee change in
accordance with "Fee Adjustments" below. For any Legal Plan you purchase that is charged in full
upon purchase, you agree that for each renewal term for such Legal Plan, the amount due for the
next term will be due and immediately payable in full as of the first day of that renewed term.
For each Legal Plan, your charge remains for each term no matter if you access the Legal Plan
during that term. In other words,
EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE LEGAL PLAN BENEFITS OR SPEAK WITH AN ATTORNEY, YOU WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PLAN MEMBERSHIP FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP OR IT IS OTHERWISE
TERMINATED. For more information regarding canceling your Legal Plan subscription, see
the
"Termination or Cancellation" section below.
Billing.
To allow payment for the initial term of a Legal Plan, valid credit card information
is due at the time of purchase.
If you have purchased an automatic renewing plan, your Legal Plan subscription will
renew automatically at the end of the initial term (the "Billing Date") and at the end
of each term thereafter unless and until you give notice of your intention to terminate
your Legal Plan subscription pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If you do not give
us notice of such intention, your credit card will be charged for the renewal term of
your Legal Plan subscription on your Billing Date. If your purchase date is on the 29th
through 31st day of any month, your Billing Date for renewals in months with fewer days
will fall on the last day of the month. We may adjust your Billing Date in subsequent
renewal periods without notice. This will be reflected by a charge to your account on a
pro-rated basis according to the number of days that have passed since the Billing Date
of your latest renewal charge. Unless otherwise notified in advance pursuant to this
Agreement, the renewal charge will be equal to the original purchase price for the Legal
Plan.
You agree to pay the fees associated with your Legal Plan subscription. Additional
discounts may be available for members purchasing multiple months up front, as part of
certain promotions which may include additional terms and conditions presented with the
offer, or where limited by law.
Notice of Automatic Renewal. We may send a reminder email to your account’s email
address of record before your Billing Date. Unless required by law in the state where you
reside, we are not obligated to provide this notice. You acknowledge that (i) your failure to
read, (ii) your inability to receive, or (iii) our failure to send the email creates no
liability for us.
Promotional Trial Memberships. We sometimes offer certain customers various trial or
other promotional memberships, which are subject to this Agreement except as otherwise stated in
the promotional offers. AT THE COMPLETION OF A TRIAL MEMBERSHIP, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO CANCEL
VIA THE MY ACCOUNT PORTAL OR BY CALLING
877-483-0117, YOUR LEGAL PLAN
MEMBERSHIP WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY AND YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED TO BEGIN YOUR
INITIAL TERM.
Attorney Fees. Fees for non-complimentary attorney services provided pursuant to a
Legal Plan membership shall be paid directly to the providing Firm. Participating Firms and
attorneys are not our employees or agents.
Fee Adjustments. We may increase our fees for a Legal Plan membership effective the first day
of a renewal term by giving you notice of the new fees at least thirty (30) days before the beginning of
the renewal term. If you do not cancel your membership pursuant to these terms, you shall be deemed to
have accepted the new fee for that renewal term and any subsequent renewal terms (unless the fees are
increased in the same manner for a subsequent renewal term). Reductions in fees become effective on the
next renewal term without any pro rata for the period covered under the prior fee schedule.
Termination or Cancellation.
By Us.
If payment is not made on the Billing Date, you have not made any payment on your
Legal Plan membership, your non-payment may result in suspension of service and
subsequent termination of your Legal Plan membership.
Your right to use a Legal Plan membership is subject to any limits established by us
or by your credit card issuer. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or your
charge is returned for any reason, including through a chargeback, we reserve the right,
in our sole and absolute discretion, to suspend or terminate your access and account,
thereby terminating this Agreement and all of our obligations hereunder. If a charge
made to your credit card is declined, we may make multiple attempts to bill that card
over a thirty-day period.
If you wish to reactivate your account after such termination, there will be no setup
or reactivation fees; provided, however, accounts terminated for non-payment will be
reactivated only on receipt of the full amount past due and a written request to
reinstate the account. When an expired account is reactivated, the new term begins on
the date of reactivation.
By You. You will have the right to cancel your Legal Plan membership by calling our
Customer Care Center at 877-483-0117 or by cancelling online through the My Account portal. After such cancellation, your
Legal Plan will remain active until the end of then-applicable period.
Services after Termination. After termination of your Legal Plan membership, either by
you or by us, you will not be able to access the corresponding Legal Plan offerings.
Dispute Resolution. The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims pursuant to these Terms of
Service. You have the additional right to file a complaint with an attorneys’ state bar association concerning
the conduct of a Firm attorney.
Professional, Independent Attorney Judgment. Attorneys performing legal services under the terms of
this Agreement are not our agents or employees. Any attorney rendering legal services as part of the Attorney
Access Program shall maintain the attorney-client relationship with the customer, and is solely responsible to
the customer for all legal services provided. It is within the sole discretion of the attorney to determine
whether claims or defenses pertaining to any matter under this Agreement present a frivolous or otherwise
unmeritorious claim or defense. Participating attorneys reserve the right to make independent professional
judgments regarding such presentations. We will in no way influence or attempt to affect the rendering of
professional services of the participating attorneys.
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Circular 230 Tax Advice Disclosure. To ensure compliance with
requirements imposed by the IRS under Circular 230, we inform you that any U.S. federal tax advice contained in
any communication from us (including information provided by a Firm or an attorney offering a free consultation)
is and was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (1) avoiding penalties
under the Internal Revenue Code or (2) promoting, marketing, or recommending to another party any matters
addressed therein.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS.
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.
Summary:
Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by calling our Customer Care
Center at 877-483-0117. In the unlikely event that the Company Customer Care Center is unable
to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if Company has not been able to resolve a dispute it
has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through
binding arbitration or in small claims court rather than in a court of general jurisdiction.
Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or
jury, allows for more limited discovery than a court does, and is subject to very limited review by courts.
Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class
actions are not permitted.
While in some instances, upfront costs to file an arbitration claim may exceed similar costs to bring a
case in court, for any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $75,000, Company will pay all costs
of the arbitration. Moreover, in arbitration you may recover attorney's fees from Company to the same
extent or more as you would in court. The arbitrator shall apply the same limitations period that would
apply in court.
Under certain circumstances (as explained below), Company will pay you more than the amount of the arbitrator's
award and will pay your attorney (if any) his or her reasonable attorney's fees if the arbitrator awards
you an amount greater than what Company offered you to settle the dispute.
You may speak with independent counsel before using this Site or completing any purchase.
Arbitration Agreement:
(a) Company and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us in small claims court or before a single arbitrator.
The types of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted. It applies,
without limitation, to:
claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in
contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;
claims that arose before these or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class;
and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to " Company," "you," and "us" include our respective
subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest,
successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products
under these Terms or any prior agreements between us. Beneficiaries include, but are not limited to, spouses,
children, dependents, or others named in divorce documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, or, where the amount at issue is within the venue’s small claims court’s jurisdiction, either party may demand small claims court in lieu of arbitration upon receipt of a Notice of Dispute.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention
of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.
You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by
jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction or website use in
interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement
of this provision. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms.
(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of
Dispute ("Notice") to the other party. A Notice to Company should be addressed to: Notice of Dispute, General Counsel,
DivorceFormsFiller
16192 Coastal Hwy
Lewes
DE 19958
(the "Notice Address").
The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief
sought ("Demand"). If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the
Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding or demand that the matter proceed in small claims court in lieu of arbitration, should the Demand be within the venue’s small claims jurisdiction. During an arbitration, the amount
of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the
arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.
(c) Should neither party demand small claims court, after Company receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly
reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $75,000. (Currently, the
filing fee for consumer-initiated arbitrations is $200, but this is subject to change by the arbitration provider.
If you are unable to pay this fee, Company will pay it directly after receiving a written request at the
Notice Address.) The Company will not reimburse you for arbitration fees should you commence arbitration after it submits a demand for small claims court in lieu of arbitration. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules")
of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"), as modified by these Terms, for all claims under
$75,000, and the applicable rules as determined by the AAA for all claims of or above $75,000, and
will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling
the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms. All issues are for
the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and
interpretation of the arbitration provision and the scope, enforceability,
and interpretation of paragraph (f) are for the court to decide. Unless Company and
you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your contact address.
If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis
of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by
the AAA Rules. If you choose to proceed either in person or by telephone, we may choose to respond only by
telephone or submission. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right
to a hearing. The parties agree that in any arbitration of a dispute or claim, neither party will rely for
preclusive effect on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration of any
dispute or claim to which Company was a party. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Company will pay all
AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice
requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief
sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth
in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
In such case, you agree to reimburse Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your
obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek relief
valued at more than $75,000 (excluding attorney's fees and expenses), the payment of these fees will be governed
by the AAA rules.
(d) For claims under $75,000 that proceed in arbitration, if, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, the
arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Company's last
written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then Company will:
pay you either the amount of the award or $2,000 ("the alternative payment"), whichever is greater;
and pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorney's fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert
witness fees and costs), that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing,
and pursuing your claim in arbitration (the "attorney's payment").
If Company did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you and your
attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney's fees, respectively,
if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve
disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and
the attorney's fees at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made
within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits. In assessing whether an award that
includes attorney's fees or expenses is greater than the value of Company's last written settlement offer,
the arbitrator shall include in his or her calculations only the value of any attorney’s fees or expenses
you reasonably incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding before Company’s settlement offer.
(e) The right to attorney's fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (d) supplements any right to attorney's fees
and expenses you may have under applicable law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a larger amount under
applicable law, this provision does not preclude an arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However,
you may not recover duplicative awards of attorney's fees or costs. Although under some laws Company may
have a right to an award of attorney's fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration proceeding,
Company will not seek such an award for claims under $75,000.
(f) An arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the
extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY
BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN
ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless
both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may
not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief
that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers. Neither
you nor we may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other customers. If a court decides that applicable
law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that
claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
(g) If the amount in dispute exceeds $75,000 or either party seeks any form of injunctive relief, either party
may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by AAA by a written notice of appeal within thirty
(30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. An award of injunctive relief shall be stayed
during any such appeal. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to AAA rules. The
three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the
appealing party's notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding,
subject to any right of judicial review that exists under the FAA.
(h) Notwithstanding any provision in the applicable Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future
change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link or telephone
number provided herein), that change will not apply to any dispute of which we had written notice on the
effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this arbitration provision, any such
termination will not be effective until at least thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination
is provided to you, and shall not be effective as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.
17. Installment Plans.
(a) Affirm. When making a purchase, you may be offered the option to purchase through Affirm, Inc. (“Affirm”), a third party.
Purchases made through Affirm are subject to the Affirm Terms of Service and
Privacy Policy.
(b) Company Installment Offering. In the alternative, certain customers are offered a Company-sponsored installment payment plan.
The Company Installment Plan (the "Installment Plan") is available as a purchase
option for certain products. Upon receipt of my initial payment, I will have access to
the post-purchase questionnaires and other support services, but will not be able to
complete my order or receive my final documents until I complete my Installment Plan payments.
(c) Billing. By opting into the Installment Plan, I agree to make an initial payment
(the "Initial Installment Payment") immediately when I place my order or as otherwise agreed.
I hereby authorize Company to charge my credit card for additional installments (each an "Installment Billing Date")
on the dates arranged with my authorization. If we select a monthly Installment Plan and my purchase date is
on the 29th through 31st day of any month, an Installment Billing Date for months with fewer days will
fall on the last day of the month. Each payment will be of the same amount unless otherwise agreed,
except that if the total purchase price does not divide evenly into the agreed number of parts, my
final installment payment will include all outstanding amounts. I understand that I may pay my
outstanding balance at any time without incurring additional charges.
(d) Default. If my credit card is declined, I agree that Company may make multiple attempts to
bill that card. If I remain in default on a payment when a subsequent payment is due, I authorize
Company to charge any due payment amounts to my credit card. I understand that Company may restrict
my ability to use its service, including continuing work on questionnaires, or purchase other Company
products if I am delinquent on any payment. I understand that Company may accept late or partial payments,
as well as payments that reflect "paid in full" or other restrictive endorsements, without limiting any of
its rights under these Terms of Service. I acknowledge that Company is out of pocket time and money for
servicing partially paid orders, and fully intend to complete my Installment Plan payments and the order.
Abandoned Installment Plans will result in liquidated damages equal to the amount paid to Company for
reimbursement of its commitment to service the order.
(e) Notice of Automatic Billing. Company may send a reminder email to the email address of record for
my account before my Installment Billing Dates. I acknowledge and agree that this notice is provided as
a courtesy only, and Company is not obligated or required to provide such notice. I acknowledge and
agree that (i) my failure to read, (ii) my inability to receive, or (iii) the failure of Company to
send the email does not create any liability on the part of Company or any third-party service provider.
(f) Disputed Charges. I understand that if I dispute a charge to my credit card, I should call the Company
Customer Care Center immediately at 877-483-0117 and Company will investigate the matter.
(g) Account Information. I agree to notify Company immediately of any changes to my credit card number,
its expiration date, and/or my billing address, or if my credit card expires or is canceled for any reason.
18. Delivery.
For products delivered via physical shipment, I understand that Company uses a variety
of carriers for each shipping option and will choose a delivery method for the shipping option and address
I designate. If I select overnight delivery or two-day delivery, I agree that Company may use air or
ground shipping as necessary to get my items to me within the promised time frame. The shipping fee
indicated does not necessarily represent the actual amount paid by Company to the carrier chosen for
the delivery of my order. It may include, in addition to the fees paid to the carrier, Company or
third party handling and processing fees. For products delivered electronically, I understand that
I will be notified via email when my product is complete and available for download. I understand that
I may access my product by logging in to
My Account.
19. Reviews.
After your purchase, you may receive an email survey request from Company. You may also
write a review on the Site. If you complete the survey or submit a review, your opinions may be posted,
in whole or in part, on the Site or used in marketing material. The review may be accompanied by
limited identifying information, such as your first name and last initial, the product you purchased,

20. Access to World Wide Web; Internet Delays.
To use Company services, I must obtain access to the World
Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service
fees associated with such access. I am responsible for providing all equipment necessary
to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and Internet access. Access
to certain Company services may be limited or delayed based on problems inherent in the use of
Internet and electronic communications. I understand that Company is not responsible for delays,
delivery failures, or other damage resulting from such problems.

Information collection
“Personal information” is information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with you or your
household. The definition of Personal Information does not include publicly available information from federal,
state, or local government records, such as professional licenses and real estate or property records.
“Sensitive Personal Information” (“SPI”) is a subset of Personal Information that includes certain government
identifiers (such as social security numbers); an account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card
number with any required security code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; precise geolocation;
contents of mail, email and text messages; genetic data; biometric information processed to identity a consumer;
information concerning a consumer’s health, sex life, or sexual orientation; or information about racial or ethnic
origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership.
As a general rule, We limit the Personal Information We collect to that which is necessary for Us to provide Our
services. We collect several types of Personal Information from and about you, including:
Information provided by you, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, and other personally
identifying information. For example, We collect information from you when you register online or

Canadian privacy notice
Canadian laws provide specific privacy rights to our Canadian customers. If you are a resident of Canada, this
section applies in addition to all other applicable rights and information contained in this Policy.
Where applicable, We follow applicable Canadian federal and provincial privacy laws ('Canadian Privacy Law'),
including:
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta PIPA)
British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (BC PIPA)
Québec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Québec Act).
Consent. In most cases, we rely on implied consent to collect, use, or disclose your personal information. In
some circumstances, including those involving sensitive personal information, we obtain express consent. Where you
have provided your consent to the collection, use, and transfer of your personal information (whether orally, in
writing, or electronically), you may have the legal right to withdraw your consent under certain circumstances. In
addition to the methods described above with respect to your privacy choices, you may withdraw your consent by
submitting a request using the information in the “Contacting Us” section below. Please note that if you withdraw
your consent, We may not be able to provide you with a particular product or service. We will explain the impact to
you at the time of your request to help you with your decision.
Use of Your Personal Information. We will not collect, use, or disclose personal information except for the
identified purposes identified above (See Disclosure of Your Information), unless we have received additional
consent or the processing is authorized without consent. Where we engage service providers who utilize the Personal
Information we provide to them, those relationships are governed by a written agreement regarding the
confidentiality of your information.
Canadian Access and Challenge Rights Canadian Privacy Law provides the right to receive information about the
existence, use, and disclosure of your personal information and be provided access to that information. You may also
challenge the accuracy and completeness of your personal information and have it amended as appropriate. Depending
on the nature of the challenged information, amendment may involve correction, deletion, or addition of information.
Exercising Your Canadian Privacy Rights. If you have an account with Us, you may view and update your account
information (as noted above) directly by logging into your account. To submit a request for access to information
not contained within your account, or to challenge the accuracy or completeness of your personal information, you
may also submit a written request using the information in the “Contacting Us” section below. When submitting a
request, We also may require you to confirm your identity and your residency in order to obtain the information.
For emails, please include “Canadian Privacy Rights” as the subject line. You must include your full name, email
address, and attest to the fact that you are a Canadian resident, and provide your province of residence. We will
begin processing your request once you have completed the verification process and will respond within the timeframe
required by law.
If We cannot substantively respond to your request in a timely manner, We will notify you and state the reason for
the delay. Under certain circumstances, We may not be able to fulfill your request, such as when doing so would
interfere with Our regulatory or legal obligations, where We cannot verify your identity, or if your request
involves disproportionate cost or effort. However, We will respond to your request within a reasonable time, as
required by law, and provide an explanation.

Your Right to Correct Your Personal Information
You have the right to request that we correct any of your personal information collected by us that is inaccurate,
subject to certain exceptions. You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below
in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”
We may decline to process your correction request if we are unable to verify your identity, if the request is
manifestly unfounded or excessive, or if the information is publicly available information, certain medical
information, consumer credit reporting information, or other types of information exempt from the CCPA.
Your Opt-Out Choices
While we do not sell or share your personal information for monetary purposes, the definition of “sale” in California
includes the sharing of personal information for targeted advertising and analytics. Because we use companies like
Google Analytics and Facebook ads, our non-monetary uses of your personal information may be considered a “sale”
under the CCPA. You may contact us to opt out of the sharing of your information for this purpose. We do not
knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age. You also may contact us to limit the use of
your sensitive personal information, specifically, your geolocation information, if you have enabled it. We never
share your Social Security Number for any purpose other than the purpose for which you provided it to us.
Your Right to Request Deletion of Your Personal Information
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information collected by us, subject to certain
exceptions. You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section,
“Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you
requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you,
or otherwise perform our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute
those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise
another right provided for by law.
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that
adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render
impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship
with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you
provided it.
Submitting a Verified Consumer Request
You have the right to submit verified consumer requests to know information, correct information, or for deletion. You
may also request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, or to limit the use of your
sensitive personal information.
The request to know can be for any or all of the following:
Specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you;
Categories of personal information we have collected about you;
Categories of sources from which the personal information was collected;
Categories of personal information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose about you;
Categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose;
The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information;
The length of time we intend to retain each category of personal information.
The response to a request for any of the categories above will cover the preceding 12 months. Please note that we are
not required to provide personal information to you more than twice in a 12-month period. We cannot respond to your
request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request.
We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity
or authority to make the request.
If you submit a request that is not through one of these designated methods or is deficient in some manner unrelated
to verification, we will either treat it as if it had been submitted in accordance with our designated methods or
provide you with information on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies.
Your request will be verified by matching the information you provide to information that we have collected.
Categories may include, but are not limited to, name, address, telephone number, last 4 digits of your social
security number, last 4 digits of the credit card you used to pay for your order, a prior order number, or similar
types of data we hold.
Once we receive your verifiable consumer request, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days
describing our verification process. We will respond to your request within 45 calendar days, if we are able to
verify your identity. Requests for deletion will require a separate confirmation that you want your information
deleted.
If requests from you are manifestly unfounded or excessive in particular because of their repetitive character, we
may either charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, notifying you of our reason for refusing to act.
If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the reason for that determination and provide
you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Please note that, in responding to your request, we are not permitted to disclose or provide you with your Social
Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account
number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, security questions and
answers, or unique biometric data generated from measurements or technical analysis of human characteristics.
However, we will inform you with sufficient particularity that we have collected the type of information without
disclosing the actual data.
Requests to Know or Delete for Child Under the Age of 16: We accept requests for minors under the age of 16 if we can
determine that it was submitted by a parent or guardian. If submitting such a request, please provide sufficient
documentation to demonstrate that relationship.
Using an Authorized Agent to Submit a Request
Only you, or a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business in
California that you have authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your
personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. If you use an
authorized agent, you may provide a power of attorney executed pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to
4465. If a power of attorney that meets those provisions is not submitted, you will be required to provide the
authorized agent signed permission to submit a request, verify your identity directly with us, and directly confirm
with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
If you’re an authorized agent making a request you need to do the following:
(a) provide a copy of a power of attorney provided to you by the consumer pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to
4465; or
(b) provide proof of signed permission along with a copy of your ID and have the consumer confirm with us that they
provided you permission to submit the request by sending an e-mail.
Requests to Access, Correct, or Delete Household Information
We will not comply with a request to know specific pieces of information, correct personal information, or a request to delete household personal
information unless (i) the request is made by the account holder or (ii) all consumers of the household jointly
request access to specific pieces of information or deletion, we can individually verify all members of the
household and we can verify each is currently a member of the household. If a member of a household is a minor under
16, we must obtain verifiable consent before complying with a request for specific pieces of information for the
household or deletion of household personal information.
Your Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Privacy Right
You have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment by the business for the exercise of the privacy rights
conferred by the CCPA. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other
benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of
goods or services.

Our refund policy:
At DivorceFiller, we care about our customers and stand by the quality of our services -
so we’ll refund our fees on divorce services, other than the activation fee, within the
first 30 days of purchase if you're unhappy with our services. Call or email us and
we'll process your refund.
What it doesn't cover:
We provide significant services beyond the generation of your divorce forms. Answers to
common questions, filing instructions, and customer care provided during the process of
using our site are just some of the valuable services we provide. For this reason, we
unfortunately cannot grant a refund in cases where a customer has accessed our post-purchase
services, including our post-purchase questionnaires, forms, instructions, and customer
care center, unless there’s a flaw in our underlying documents. If you have not accessed
our post-purchase services, however, you can request a refund within 30 days of purchase.
In addition, we cannot guarantee that a customer's spouse will sign the documents and cannot
provide a refund where the spouse refuses.
We cannot provide refunds for fees we collect on behalf of third parties. For example, if you
purchase the electronic filing of your documents, complete the documents, and we pay to file
with a court, we cannot refund the fees to you. Similarly, if you purchase a package with
prepaid shipping labels, we cannot offer a refund for those labels. Finally, fees paid directly
to, or for access to, lawyers or for mediation services are not covered by this guarantee.
