life is not a straight line, but divorce should be
You already agree on the terms. Just text Amie via iMessage or Android RCS — she asks a few questions and sends all 13 court-ready forms straight back to your phone. Done in about 15 minutes.
California's 6-month waiting period starts when you file correctly. Errors can restart the clock.
You and your spouse have already done the hard part. You agree on how to split things up, what's fair, and how to move forward. There's nothing left to fight about.
But then you look at what it takes to actually file — 13 different court forms, legal jargon everywhere, and lawyers quoting $3,000 to $15,000 for what amounts to filling out your name and wedding date on government PDFs.
That's why we built Amie. She's an AI assistant who sits with you, asks plain-English questions about your situation, and turns your answers into all 13 court-ready forms. No legal jargon. No $400/hour bills. Just a helpful guide who happens to know California divorce law inside and out.
This is what it actually looks like

Why Getting It Right the First Time Matters
California's 6-month waiting period can restart
California requires a 6-month waiting period from the date your spouse is properly served. If your forms get rejected by the clerk and you have to refile, that clock starts over. One wrong checkbox on Form FL-100 could add months to your timeline.
What happens when people try it alone:
You download the forms, guess at fields like “Petitioner's declaration regarding minor children under Family Code section 3011,” drive to the courthouse, wait in line... and the clerk says “I can't accept this.” That's weeks of effort wasted and months added to your timeline.
Amie validates every field against California Judicial Council requirements before generating your documents. She catches the mistakes that clerks actually reject.
Three Steps. 15 Minutes. Done.
Amie handles the legal complexity so you don't have to.

Not a Chatbot. Not a Lawyer. Something Better.
She walks you through it like a patient friend would
Amie doesn't give you a form and say "good luck." She sits with you through every question, explains what the court needs and why, and makes sure nothing gets missed.
Available when you need her — not during "business hours"
11pm on a Tuesday because you can't sleep? Sunday morning before the kids wake up? Amie is there. No scheduling, no hold music, no billable hours.
Plain English and Spanish — zero legal jargon
"Petitioner's declaration regarding minor children under Family Code section 3011" — Amie translates that to "Do you have kids under 18?" Every question in language you actually understand.
Knows your county's specific requirements
Filing in LA County is different from filing in Sacramento. Amie knows the local rules and gives you instructions specific to your courthouse — where to go, what to bring, what to expect.
Questions You're Probably Asking
"Is Amie a real person or a bot?"
Amie is an AI assistant — not a chatbot that gives scripted answers, and not a person who's only available during office hours. She's trained on California Family Code, Judicial Council form instructions, and county-specific filing requirements. She understands context, follows up on your answers, and explains things in language you can actually understand.
"Is $199 legit? What's the catch?"
No catch. Lawyers charge thousands because they have office leases, support staff, and billable-hour incentives. Amie handles the form preparation that used to take a paralegal hours. We only do uncontested divorces — one thing, done well. Plus you're covered by our Court Acceptance Guarantee.
"Can Amie give me legal advice?"
No — and she'll tell you that upfront. Amie is a document preparation assistant, not a lawyer. She helps you fill out forms correctly and explains what each one does. If you need legal advice about your specific situation, she'll recommend consulting an attorney. DivorceBuddy is a document preparation service, not a law firm.
"What if I get stuck or confused?"
That's literally what Amie is for. If you don't understand a question, tell her. She'll explain it differently — in plain English or Spanish. You can pause anytime and come back later; your progress is always saved.
"What about court filing fees?"
The court charges a $435-$450 filing fee — that's separate from our $199 document preparation fee, and it's the same whether you use a lawyer or DivorceBuddy. If your household income is low, you may qualify for a fee waiver.
"Is Amie available 24/7?"
Yes. Amie is available anytime you need help — nights, weekends, holidays. No waiting for office hours or scheduling appointments.
"How long does the whole process take?"
Your paperwork: about 15 minutes with Amie. Filing at the courthouse: 1-2 hours. Then California requires a 6-month waiting period from the date of service — that's state law, and no lawyer can speed it up. But your documents can be ready today.
"We have kids. Can we still use this?"
Yes, as long as you and your spouse agree on the parenting plan — who has custody, the visitation schedule, and child support. Amie will ask you straightforward questions about your plan and put it into the format the court requires.
The Court Acceptance Guarantee
If your forms are rejected by the court because of an error in Amie's preparation, you get a full refund. No questions asked. No fine print. Amie validates every field against California Judicial Council requirements before generating your documents — she catches the mistakes that clerks actually reject.
