You and your spouse can even sign and notarize your documents online (unless your county requires in-person notarization).

How It Works – 4 Simple Steps

We make the divorce process easy to follow by breaking it into four simple, attorney-managed steps — all completed online.

Step 1: Start Your Case Online

Complete our secure questionnaire to begin your divorce. A licensed Alabama attorney reviews your answers, confirms eligibility, and prepares all required legal documents based on your situation and the requirements of your local Circuit Court.

Step 2: Review, Sign & Notarize

You and your spouse review the documents for accuracy, then sign and notarize — either online or in person, depending on your county. We ensure everything is legally complete, including any required service waivers or notices.*

Step 3: We File Everything with the Court

Once everything is signed and notarized, your attorney files the case with the appropriate Circuit Court and monitors its progress. You don’t need to visit a courthouse — we handle the filings for you and keep you updated.

Step 4: Diovrce Granted

The judge reviews your case. If everything is in order, your Final Judgment of Divorce is signed and finalized. In most cases, no court appearance is required. Once the divorce is granted, a copy of the signed judgment is available online.

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Divorce You fill out and file all forms yourself with little or no support. ❌ We are not a DIY platform.

Alabama Residency Requirements

To file for divorce in Alabama, at least one spouse must meet the state’s residency requirement. The rule depends on where the other spouse (the defendant) lives:

  • If the defendant is a nonresident of Alabama:

The person filing for divorce (the petitioner) must have lived in Alabama for at least six months before filing. This must be stated in the divorce complaint and supported by proof of residency, as required by Alabama Code § 30-2-5.

  • If the defendant is a resident of Alabama:

There is no six-month residency requirement for the petitioner. The divorce can be filed immediately, even if the petitioner recently moved to the state.

 

Acceptable Proof of Residency:

To show that you meet the residency requirement (if it applies), you may provide documentation such as:

  • A valid Alabama driver’s license or state-issued ID
  • A utility bill, lease agreement, or mortgage statement
  • Any other documentation showing physical presence in Alabama for the required time

Not sure if you meet the requirement? We can help you determine eligibility before beginning the divorce process.

Online Notarization Requirements:

Our website offers secure online notarization for individuals filing in a county that accepts it. Not all counties in Alabama permit online notarization. If your filing county does not accept remote notarization, you’ll need to visit a local, in-person notary to complete the process.*

If your county does allow online notarization, the process is completed using real-time audio-video technology, allowing you to sign your divorce documents from anywhere — no in-person notary visit required.

To participate in online notarization, each signer must pass identity verification through knowledge-based authentication (KBA) or biometric analysis. You’ll also need one of the following valid forms of government-issued ID:

  • A state-issued Driver’s License, Real ID, or Identification Card
  • A U.S. Passport issued by the U.S. Department of State
  • A foreign passport stamped by the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services
  • A Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)

All online notarization sessions are recorded and securely stored in compliance with applicable notary laws.

Don’t have one of the accepted IDs?

We’ll guide you through alternative notarization options, including in-person notarization, if needed.

* Important Note: Most Alabama Circuit Courts accept online notarization, but Baldwin, Clay, Coosa, Covington, Houston, Jackson, Madison, Mobile, Monroe, Montgomery, Russell, and Jefferson Counties still require notarization to be completed in person. If you’re filing in one of these counties, you’ll sign and notarize your documents with a local notary, return them to us by mail or email.
