Private form preparation

New York divorce form packet planner

Use high-level choices to assemble a preparation summary for the official packet and checks to review. Do not enter names, addresses, case numbers, financial figures, abuse details, or other sensitive facts.

Preparation only. This planner does not decide eligibility, jurisdiction, venue, valid service, filing sufficiency, or legal strategy.
Which path are you reviewing?
Are there children of the marriage under age 21?
Has a divorce action already been started?
For a standard case, is the spouse's location known and ordinary service expected?
Is there a safety, confidentiality, or safe-service concern?
Will you review a court-fee waiver?

No answers are stored, transmitted, analyzed, or attached to a profile.
