Guided Pro Se Divorce
Pro Se — Done Right.
You handle your own divorce, but you do not have to guess your way through the paperwork. We prepare the correct Louisiana divorce documents, have them reviewed by an attorney, and give them to you ready to file.
Explore Guided Pro SeManaged Uncontested Divorce
You agree on the issues. We handle the process.
An attorney prepares and files your documents, manages the required steps of the court process, tracks the required waiting periods and deadlines, and takes your uncontested divorce through final judgment.
Explore Managed DivorceMediation
You're close to an agreement, but need help getting there.
Work with a neutral mediator to resolve the remaining issues. If an agreement is reached, CourtBuddy will prepare the necessary divorce documents and guide you through the remaining court process, including tracking required waiting periods and next steps, so you can complete the divorce pro se.

Important Information: What If You Cannot Reach an Agreement?
CourtBuddy is designed for divorces where both sides agree on most or all issues. If a dispute develops that cannot be resolved through the CourtBuddy process, your package may end and either party may need separate legal representation. Any additional legal services would require a separate written agreement and fee.
