Split Happy offers self-help “Do-It-Yourself” (DIY) software that guides you through all three (3) stages of your divorce process. All you need is to answer the questions in our questionnaire. At the end of each stage, you will be provided with a complete set of forms needed to proceed with your divorce case and submit them to the court and/or your spouse/domestic partner. Please note that we are not giving you legal advice through our DIY tools.

Our DIY tools are accessible through three (3) packages that you can subscribe for: “Starter”, “Advanced” and “Premium”. Premium features include one hour of online Mediation Services per month. You can also directly book a separate Mediation session with one of our mediators by choosing a convenient date and time from available slots.

The average length of the DIY membership depends on how complicated is your case, as well as your pace. In general, the process can take 6 months. We strongly recommend keeping your membership until you receive the final judgment, just in case any issues arise during your divorce process.
