About My Divorce Kit

Our mission

Divorce is a legal process wrapped in emotional stress. People search for answers at midnight and land on thin pages that either overpromise or say nothing useful. My Divorce Kit exists to provide structured, jurisdiction-aware educational material so readers can ask better questions of attorneys, mediators, and court clerks.

We organize content by state because family law is not uniform. Community property rules in California are not the same as equitable distribution concepts in New York. Waiting periods, residency thresholds, and form suites differ. A useful kit starts with the right map.

What you will find here

• State guides covering common filing signals: residency, waiting periods, typical fee ranges, and property regime notes
• Process guides on contested vs uncontested paths, custody basics, alimony concepts, and property division frameworks
• Practical vocabulary such as financial affidavit, parenting plan, mandatory disclosure, UCCJEA affidavit, and marital settlement agreement
• Transparent monetization so advertising and affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly

Editorial standards (E-E-A-T)

• Experience: Guides are written to mirror real filing workflows: what people gather, what courts often require, and where self-help portals fit.
• Expertise: Terminology is aligned with court self-help language (financial affidavits, parenting plans, mandatory disclosure, dissolution petitions).
• Authoritativeness: We prioritize official state court form suites and statutes as the north star, and we encourage readers to verify against local clerk guidance.
• Trustworthiness: Clear YMYL disclaimers, privacy disclosures, contact channel, and no claim of attorney-client relationship.

How we research

State pages and guides are compiled from publicly available court self-help materials, standardized form suites, and commonly published statutory frameworks. Fees and waiting periods can change; always confirm with your local clerk. When readers report drift between our summary and a county practice, we review and update.

Independence & revenue

My Divorce Kit is reader-supported through a mix of:

• Google AdSense display advertising (including Auto ads where enabled)

Revenue keeps the guides free. It does not change our disclaimer: this is educational content only.

Anyone seeking emergency legal protection, criminal defense, or guaranteed outcomes. If you face domestic violence or immediate safety risk, contact local emergency services or a specialized hotline first.
