For one low, flat rate, you meet with an experienced paralegal who will provide you with the forms and instructions, and give you the instructions and guidance you need to do it yourself, or you can have us do it for you.

We offer two options: you fill out the forms yourself or we can do it for you. With either option, our easy instructions take you from filing your divorce case to your Final Hearing.

If you choose to have us complete the forms for you, you’ll be given instructions on how to file your case with the Court and set your Final Hearing.  For an additional fee, our attorney can represent you at the Final Hearing,  

Free notary services are included for your convenience.

What Our Clients are Saying:

What an incredible experience I had not only with Shawn but his staff as well. They made the process seamless and painless which was very appreciated.
I will no doubt recommend this firm.

Gary Chatoff

I am extremely grateful for the support and representation I received from my divorce attorney, Shawn Gearhart. From the very beginning, he was professional, patient, and diligent in handling my case. Shawn consistently took the time to walk me through each step of the process, making sure I understood what to expect and helping me feel reassured during a very difficult time.

During hearings, it was clear that his professionalism stood out. Even the judge and other attorneys had great things to say about him. His dedication, attention to detail, and calm demeanor gave me confidence throughout the entire process. I truly felt supported and well represented. I highly recommend Shawn Gearhart to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney.

ByMelissaD

After 27 years of marriage, feeling overwhelmed about the process of divorce and outcomes,God directed me to reach out to The Affordable Divorce lawyers. Shawn Gearhart and his legal support team gave me the confidence from our first meeting that I would find resolution!
From the onset my case was fairly simple and the process was seamless to final divorce. However , my ex violated the terms of divorce and I required Shawn once again to represent me. I am thrilled to say he is was successful , worked with the other attorney and truly stood up for me when I needed it most. After 2 years of battle I am at the victory line. Do not hesitate to use Shawn Gearhart and his team this is truly affordable and you are kept informed on all issues via email and phone calls.
Thank you for all you have done very grateful.

Pat Varma

Affordable Divorce Center was a huge help when I needed it most. Mr. Shawn Gearhart is a really solid attorney who knows his stuff and keeps things straight to the point. The whole team was super attentive and actually got back to me quickly whenever I had questions. Made the whole process way less stressful. Definitely recommend them if you’re looking for good, affordable help with a divorce.

Lazaro Rodriguez

I recently retained the services of the Affordable Divorce Center following an initial consultation with Shawn Gearhart. Since we had already been living apart, we knew the most difficult part would be navigating the legal paperwork necessary to end our 29 year marriage. Mr. Gearhart was honest and patient and was very good at explaining everything each step of the way. He and his team were prompt, responsive and indeed affordable. They made a difficult period much more bearable. Even though our divorce agreement was pretty straightforward, I was very pleased (and a bit surprised) at how quickly it was done. I would recommend Mr. Gearhart and his team, should the need arise.

Document Assistance FAQ

The only difference between the two programs is cost and whether or not we complete the forms for you.  With Document Assembly there is only one appointment with a Paralegal. You complete all of the documents on your own with our advice and step-by-step instructions.  With Document Preparation there are two appointments – the first is to complete an Intake Form with all the information we need to complete your forms, and a second appointment with a paralegal to review, sign and notarize your documents.  In both cases, you have everything you need to file your case and attend your final hearing.

Yes, the initial Court filing fee of $409, a summons fee of $10 and service of process fee either by the sheriff’s office of $35 or a private process server of $50

If your case is contested and mediation is required by the Court, the fee, depending on your combined income would be either $60 or $120.  You also have the option to use a private mediator at an hourly rate set by the mediator.

There are mandatory filing fees by the Court, however, we will provide you with an application to determine whether or not the filing fees may be waived.

Document Assistance packages only apply to divorce cases that have not been filed yet. Document Assistance packages cannot be used to modify or enforce child support or alimony.

With Document Assistance, we will meet with you and give you the forms and instructions in one day.  With Document Preparation, we will meet with you to discuss your case and you will have your completed documents within 7-10 days.  It is up to you to go to the Courthouse and file your documents.

For Document Preparation, we will need yours and your spouse’s personal information including date of birth and social security number, dates of marriage and separation.  If there are minor children, we will need their social security number, date and place of birth and their addresses for the last 5 years.

Yes, you and your spouse need to be in total agreement on all issues, such as the division of assets/debts, alimony, timesharing and child support.

Yes, it is most helpful to know where your spouse is, as it will save you time and money.

You can either give them to your spouse to sign, or you will have to contact the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office or a private process server to serve your spouse. We will advise you on where to find a list of them.

If you find that the forms are too complicated to complete yourself, we will gladly upgrade you to the Document Preparation program for the difference in price within the first 24 hours.  If it’s longer than 24 hours, a paralegal will assist you at the paralegal’s hourly rate.

Document Assistance is not appropriate in the following instances:

a)  The case has already been filed

b)  There is domestic violence

c)  The other spouse has retained an Attorney

d)  There is an active Protection Order involving one of the parties

e) If there are contestable issues. For instance, one party is requesting alimony, one or more of your children has special needs, or one party is requesting sole custody or an uneven share of the marital property.
