Divorce Shouldn't Be This Hard
We believe that when two people agree to end their marriage peacefully, the process should be simple, affordable, and dignified.
The Problem We're Solving
In the United States, getting divorced is unnecessarily complicated and expensive—even when both spouses agree on everything. The average divorce costs $15,000-$30,000 in legal fees, takes months of back-and-forth with attorneys, and often leaves families financially devastated.
This is a uniquely American problem. In many countries around the world, couples who agree on their separation simply sign a document and move on with their lives. No lawyers required. No five-figure bills. No months of waiting.
We believe the current system is broken—not for complex cases with custody battles or significant assets, but for the millions of couples who simply want to end their marriage peacefully and move forward.
How It Works Around the World
In most developed countries, uncontested divorce is a simple administrative process:
Our Mission
"To make uncontested divorces affordable and stress-free."
We're not trying to replace lawyers entirely. Complex cases—those involving disputed custody, significant assets, abuse, or business ownership—absolutely need professional legal guidance.
But for the 60% of divorces that are uncontested and straightforward, couples shouldn't need to spend their life savings on legal fees. They need the right paperwork, clear guidance, and a fair price.
What We Stand For
Compassion First
Divorce is hard enough emotionally. We don't add financial stress on top of it.
Access to Justice
Everyone deserves affordable access to the legal system, not just those who can afford lawyers.
Simplicity
If two people agree, the process should take hours, not months.
Modern Approach
We use technology to make legal processes accessible in the 21st century.
Bilingual Support
California is diverse. We serve English and Spanish speakers equally.
Honest Pricing
One price. No hourly billing. No hidden fees. No surprises.
We Know Our Limits
DivorceBuddy is designed for simple, uncontested divorces. We're upfront about when you should consult a lawyer:
For these cases, we'll tell you honestly: you need professional legal advice. But for the majority of divorces—where couples agree and just need the paperwork done right—that's exactly what we're here for.
Our Vision
We imagine a future where a couple who has decided to part ways amicably can do so without financial devastation. Where divorce, while never easy emotionally, is at least simple procedurally.
We're starting with California—the state with the most divorces in America. But our vision extends nationwide: making uncontested divorce accessible to every American family that needs it.
