A: The only way you will save money doing your own divorce id if you are indigent (extremely low or no income) and eligible to have court cost waived. You may not qualify. However, if you make a $1000 a month - you can afford us. Visit easyncdivorce.com to see if our service is a good fit for you. We can do a standard uncontested divorce for a flat rate fee of $395 which would cover everything needed.
A:
