By using a service like Alabama Divorce Online to create your documents, you can simplify the process and save thousands of dollars in legal fees.

✅ What are the benefits of a DIY Uncontested Divorce?

  • Cost-Effective – Avoid expensive attorney fees by handling the paperwork yourself.
  • Faster Process – Since there's no need for court battles, the process moves much more quickly.
  • Less Stressful – When both spouses agree on the terms, the process is smoother and more amicable.
  • More Control – You and your spouse make the decisions instead of leaving them up to a judge.

📝 The Importance of a Marital Separation Agreement (MSA)

One of the most critical steps in a DIY divorce is creating a Marital Separation Agreement. This legal document outlines how you and your spouse will handle key matters, including:

  • Child Custody & Visitation – Determining where children will live and scheduling visitation time.
  • Child Support – Agreeing on financial responsibilities for your children.
  • Spousal Support (Alimony) – Deciding if one spouse will provide financial support to the other.
  • Property & Debt Division – Equitably dividing assets and debts.

At Alabama Divorce Online we make it easy to create your own Marital Separation Agreement by answering a simple questionnaire.
