Divorce Start Guide — Step-by-Step Divorce & Separation Toolkits

Plain-language divorce filing, custody, and financial-split guides for every US state, Canada, Australia, the UK, and beyond — built for the exact place and situation you're in.

Divorce is one of the few times in life you're handed a legal process, a financial untangling, and a family reorganization all at once — usually while you're least equipped to think clearly. The courts hand you blank forms and a filing window. Nobody hands you the map.

That's what these guides are. Not the forms (your court gives those away free), but the plain-language walkthrough of what to file, in what order, by when — plus the custody, money, and life-admin decisions that don't fit on any form. Every guide is written for your specific state, province, or country, because residency rules, waiting periods, and how property gets divided change completely depending on where you file.

Whether you're figuring out how to file in Texas, building a parenting plan in Ontario, dividing a house and a pension in England, or just trying to prepare quietly before you tell anyone — start with the toolkit built for exactly what you're facing.
