Divorce checklist

A printable list of documents, forms and steps for your state.

The checklist combines the documents most divorces need with your state's own rules from our state guides: the residency rule, the official forms, the filing fee or the fee waiver form, how your spouse must be served and the time to respond, parenting classes and child support for parents, the waiting period and how to go back to a former name.

Tick items off on screen, print the list, or download it as PDF, Word or text. It is made in your browser and nothing is sent to us. For the full steps, read how to file for divorce without a lawyer.
