When you filed your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, the Clerk of the Court assigned a “return date” to your file. (See the “YOU ARE NOTIFIED” paragraph of your document). This is the date your spouse is given to respond to your petition. That date allows us enough time to run your ad for 4 weeks. It also gives your spouse 30 days to file an answer. If you wait until we have fewer than 30 days to publish your Notice (meaning your spouse has less than 30 days to see it and respond to it), you will have to refile your Petition. This is the specific reason you should not delay.
Start publishing your Notice as soon after the filing Date (found on page 2) as possible. If money is an issue, we’ll give you 30 days to pay.
First, there are two ways for you to get us the information we need:
1) You can send us a picture of your Notice of Action (just use your phone and send us both pages). We will pull the information we need from that document and prepare all the paperwork.
2) OR You can use this form and pay online through Paypal.
.
Either way, persons filing on their own, without a lawyer, will pay a discounted price of only $120. Why? Because we understand that when two people separate, a reduction in household income results. We’re here to help, not hurt.
Second, once we receive your notice, we will show you how the ad looks with the information you provided. This will be your chance to make any necessary changes (misspellings, etc.) After everything looks good, YOU WILL NOT HEAR FROM US AGAIN UNTIL the 4 weeks are up. This is how we keep our legal advertising rates so low. Talking to you on the phone, emailing or texting you, sending you copies of the newspaper– these things will increase the cost of our service to as much as double the amount. After the 4th run, we will send you an Affidavit of Publication, signed by us, certifying that your ad ran for the required 4 weeks.
Third, our process is automatic. You will not have to call. You will receive the Affidavit on the last day your notice runs in your email inbox on or before 8:00 AM. If for any reason you don’t have your Affidavit by 9AM, simply send us an email and we’ll get your Affidavit to you right away.
Whatever you decide, your account must be paid in full for an Affidavit of Publication to be sent.
