Overview Of Legal Zoom Divorce Documents Service

By Elizabeth Altomare

Getting a divorce is not easy. There are almost always unexpected issues or problems arising that one does not expect. But having a checklist of what is needed and the Legal Zoom Divorce Documents Service paperwork will provide a person with most of the documents they need in a divorce.

Legal Zoom Divorce Documents Service does not provide legal advice. If a person is getting a divorce that is going to require the services of an attorney they will want to get an attorney. However, if the divorce has been agreed to and is going to be amicable then the document service can provide valuable assistance.

There are different guidelines and paperwork required for each state. States have requirements that relate to how property may be divided as well as how long a couple must live in a state to file a divorce. Legal Zoom provides the correct paperwork for the correct state.

Even in an amicable divorce child support is mandatory. Most states have specific guidelines about how child support is figured and it has to be included in the divorce even if the couple has agreed that no child support will be paid. When the couple is receiving government benefits the amount of child support will be set and must be paid. If the couple have agreed to a specific amount it can be indicated on the paperwork that is filed. Remember the final decision on the amount of child support that will be paid is up to the judge presiding over the case.

Once the package is received from Legal Zoom Divorce Document Service and the additional documents required have been acquired from the courts, a couple should take time to fill them out together. It is very important that the documents be complete and accurate. This will affect how smoothly the divorce proceeds and can also impact taxes, and other debts that the couple are responsible for.

A divorce goes much more smoothly if all of the community property has already been divided before the papers are filed. This reduces the amount of work that must be done by the judicial system and also will have settled this part of the divorce so that the parties can move on. - 30299
