Background

Good to know about the divorce form

What is the divorce form?

The divorce form is your non-binding online enquiry: in a few minutes you answer a handful of short questions about your situation – amicable or contested, separation, children, assets and any international element. We review your details and get back to you with a first assessment. The full application data is only collected once we take on your case – online or together in the first consultation.

Do I have to complete the whole form?

The form is deliberately short – usually done in two to three minutes, mostly by selecting options. You do not need any documents here. If we take on your case, we gather the remaining details together with you – whichever you prefer, online or in a personal consultation.

Is the online divorce form legally sound?

Yes. The same laws and the same procedure apply as for any divorce – a state family court has jurisdiction and you are represented by admitted lawyers. Your details are transmitted encrypted and are covered by lawyer-client confidentiality. The form is merely the digital way of submitting your data, not the divorce itself.

What does a divorce via the form cost?

The statutory fees for the lawyer (RVG) and the court (FamGKG) are the same nationwide – whether you sit in the office in person or fill in the divorce form online. The digital route is neither more expensive nor cheaper in the actual fees; above all it saves you time and travel. More on divorce costs .
