How does CompleteCase work? A brief overview
CompleteCase has consolidated their do-it-yourself divorce technology into three simple steps. You must fully complete each step before your divorce forms will be ready for download. These steps, if completed in one sitting, should not take more than 20-30 minutes to answer.
Each of these steps are as follows:
1) Confirm your divorce qualifies
Before you can purchase the service, you will need to be confirm that your current divorce situation is compatible with CompleteCase. For them to assess this, you will need to answer questions similar to the following:
- What is your current state of residence?
- Do you know the present location of your spouse?
- Is your spouse in full agreement regarding this divorce? Are they willing to sign the divorce papers with you?
- Do you and your spouse have any children under the age of 18 from this marriage?
In most cases, your divorce will qualify. CompleteCase works in all 50 states. It is also a great option for same sex and military divorces online.
2) Answer questions about your uncontested divorce
The next step will most likely take you the longest amount of time to complete. In this step, you are asked a set of questions pertaining to your uncontested divorce. These questions are non-legal in nature. The answers you provide will be used to accurately create your divorce forms.
Questions will be broken down into the following sections:
- Date and location of your marriage
- Children and pregnancy information
- Properties and debts
- Filing party information
- Current home details
- Community property details
- Any community debts in the marriage
- Any other possible income sources
- Active duty military status
These questions may take some time for you to fully answer. In some cases, you might need your spouse to answer some of the questions. CompleteCase makes it easy for you to answer some questions and then come back later to answer the rest. In other words, you can complete these questions at your convenience.
Questions must be answered sequentially
It should be mentioned that CompleteCase will force you to answer each question sequentially. Unlike 3StepDivorce, where you can click “Next” and “Previous” between sections (even when leaving entire sections blank to fill in later), you cannot do this with CompleteCase.
Basically, this means that you will need to answer each question as it is asked – you cannot “skip ahead.” You can go backwards to re-answer questions in a previous section but unless you answer all of the questions on the current section, you cannot go forward to answer questions in a future section.
Personally, this not a dealbreaker by any means. However, for people (like me) who like to be able to skip around and answer questions in no particular order, beware that this is just not possible to do with CompleteCase.
3) Download, print and sign your divorce paperwork
Now that you have answered all the questions required to generate your divorce paperwork, you will be presented with a link to download your papers. The documents will be downloadable as Adobe PDF files. After downloading the documents, you will need to print them and then sign them to make the forms legal.
File your divorce papers with your state court
Upon signing your documents, the last step will be to file your divorce forms with your state court. CompleteCase includes detailed instructions on how and where to file your divorce forms.
