Q: Will this site work for my
country?
A:
Yes. OurDivorceAgreement.com
guides you to generate your Property Settlement Agreement,
specifying how to handle the issues of your divorce - and
Child Care Plan (if you have children). This
portion of our site will apply throughout India.
Then, you are linked to your court filing forms for completing your
divorce. The filing forms are specific to the different
religious groups within India.
The site also generates a
spreadsheet, listing the division of your assets and liabilities
and financial
disclosure forms for you and your spouse that are required
by the Court.
Q: How long
does it take to complete the site?
A: The
answer to your question is a very definite, “it
depends!”
Some couples have completed the site in one sitting.
It depends on how complex your situation is, how much
you want/need to discuss the different options, etc.
You can go as fast as you want.
It's up to you. Sorry we can’t be more
specific but it really does depend on each situation (i.e.
kids,
lots of assets, etc.) Contact us at support@ourdivorceagreement.com
for specific questions related to your particular situation.
Q: How long
does it take for the divorce to become final once work is
completed on the site?
A: In
terms of how long it takes for the divorce to become final,
that depends on your jurisdiction.
Each has a time period between the date of
filing and the date the divorce can become final.
The clerk of the court that handles divorces in your
jurisdiction should be able to tell you the requirements for
your jurisdiction.
Q: Does the
registration fee include the Court filing fees?
A: No. Contact
the Clerk of the Court that handles divorces in your
jurisdiction to inquire what the filing fee is in yours.
These are paid by you at the time you file your documents.
Q: What is
your refund policy?
A: Once
someone enters the purchased area of OurDivorceAgreement.com,
one has immediate access to all of the information we
offer divorcing couples. Therefore, we
have a no refund policy. We ALWAYS stick with our
clients to get them what they need to complete their
divorce. We offer all of the
information we can to you in order to make an informed
decision about what our site can offer you, including sample
forms and a list of topic areas. Please review the information
portion of the site carefully before you make a
purchase. If you have questions that are not answered
on the site or here, please feel free to contact us at support@ourdivorceagreement.com
with your specific question.
Q: What is
your 110% guarantee?
A: If
you purchase our site and find a more comprehensive divorce,
we'll
refund 110% of your purchase price, guaranteed!
Q: I see that
you recommend that separate lawyers/solicitors
review the completed
document before signing and submitting it to Court. Do
we HAVE to do this?
A: Can
we "make" you consult with separate lawyers?
Of course not. However, we feel that it's inexpensive
"insurance" for making sure you both do something
that is in your individual - as well as mutual - self
interest. We ask you to agree to acknowledge that we
have urged you to do so in the first step of our
registration process.
Q: What if I
can't locate my spouse?
A: The
reality is that you will be able to get a divorce at some
point in time.
Each jurisdiction has different procedures concerning how to
proceed if you cannot locate the other spouse.
To find out how in your jurisdiction, please contact the
clerk of the divorce court in your jurisdiction. Then,
please do come back to ODA.com to create your divorce
paperwork.
Q: We have no
major credit cards! Can we send in payment by
money order?
A: We
accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and
Discover. Sorry, we are not able to accept other forms
of payment for India.
Q: We're
unsure which jurisdiction to file in?
A: Each
jurisdiction has it’s own residency requirements for divorce.
The clerk of your court that handles divorces should
be able to tell you their residency requirements.
Q: Can we use
your site if one spouse is out of the country?
A: Yes,
your situation is perfect for our site. Assuming you
have lived in your jurisdiction for the required residency period you can
use the site no matter where the other spouse is residing. And with our site, you can both go online
to work on the site. If you have a reasonably priced
phone plan or an internet phone service, you can even be on
the site at the same time and talk about each category.
Q: We have no
children together. Is there a version of your site that does not include child custody information?
A: Yes.
In the registration, there is a place to mark "no
children" and the site deletes any references to
child-related issues. You then focus exclusively on
the property issues, which are very complete - from the
typical autos to frequent flyer miles and country club
memberships!
Q: Can this site be used for a
legal separation instead of a divorce?
A: Yes.
The language in the document that is generated by the site
uses the words, "Petition for Dissolution," but
the document can be copied into MSWord and the term
changed to "Petition for Legal Separation."
The issues that you need to consider for legal
separation are the same ones that need to be considered
for divorce. If you want to roll the legal
separation into a divorce later on, you can amend your
agreement that you have in place if needed, as you will
have indefinite access to your file in ODA.com.
However, our site provides the court filing forms
for divorce only. You would need to secure the
filing forms for a legal separation from our legal
affiliate (see legal link on homepage) or a local attorney.
Q: Is there any limit
for our use
of the site?
A:
No. Your
one time payment of the site fee entitles you to unlimited
use of the site. You may continue to make changes and
corrections to the site as long as you wish. You can
even use the site to modify your Agreement after the divorce
if you have minor children. We do not however, have the
filing forms for modifications, just for divorce.
Q: Can we work on the site from
two different locations at the same time?
A: Yes, you can. You
may discuss your choices by phone as you work from two
different computers at the same time. You would both
login with the same password and you would designate one of
you as the "entry person." Each time the
entry person makes a selection that you both agree with, the
other person will click "refresh" on his/her
browser and the entry will be displayed. You may do
this throughout the site. Care needs to be taken that
you are both not entering choices. This will create
conflicting results.
Q: Do we both use the same login
ID and password?
A: Yes. Each couple is
treated as one "client couple." You will need to
share the same Login ID and password for the duration of
your use of the site.
Q: Do we have to wait until we
complete all forms before printing out documents?
A: No, you can print out a
sample document with the items that you have completed at
any time. If you are printing the Agreement Document
before completing all of the forms, you will receive a
warning message, but you will be able to review your work at
any point in time.
Q: Can I let a friend use my
registration by changing the names and other personal information?
A: No. The site is designed for
use by one couple only. Once you have entered your
profile information, it cannot be changed without permission
secured through our office. One purchased use of the
site is to be used by one couple.
Q: Can this site be used by
unmarried couples with children?
A: Yes. Simply click
the check box in the registration profile that is labeled,
"unmarried/separating" and the proper language for
your situation will be inserted in the Memorandum of
Understanding.
Q: Can this site be used by
Gay/Lesbian couples who are separating?
A: The range of issues and
decisions dealt with on the site do apply to
Gay/Lesbian/Transgender (G/L/T) couples. We have
crafted an Agreement format that should work for most such
situations. Follow the instructions above for
unmarried couples. Since the law is evolving in this
area, it is particularly important for G/L/T couples to
secure independent legal advice before attempting to file
their Agreement with a Court in their jurisdiction.
At the time of the development of
this site, we are unfamiliar with terms that refer to the
individuals of G/L/T couples in a way that
"husband" and "wife" work for
heterosexual couples. Therefore, at the outset of the
use of the form, a G/L/T couple will need to designate each
as "husband" or "wife" and remain
consistent throughout the site. We are open to other
ways of handling this situation in a way that honors all
couples and all sexual orientations. Please contact us
at the email address below with your feedback.
Q: I don't think my spouse is
quite ready to begin the divorce process. Can I use
the site to create an initial proposal that I can use to
begin discussions and the divorce process?
A: ODA.com is set
up to handle such an application. The spouse who wants
to use the site for creating an initial proposal needs to
register, complete the guidelines agreement process by
checking and initialing his/her box and checking the spouses
box and placing "XXX" in the initials box for the
non-participating spouse. The participating spouse
then may place his/her email address in the client
registration form for both spouses so that no notice is sent
to the non-participating spouse upon registration. The
participating spouse should then email us with the login and
his/her name and state that the site is being used to create
an initial proposal. We will keep this statement on
file. The site may then be used to create the
proposal.
