Reason #1: Lower Price ($154 Savings)

Let’s start with the obvious: $345 vs. $499 = $154 saved. That’s 30% less for the same service—actually, better service (see below).

Why pay more when you can get superior credentials, faster turnaround, and greater convenience for less?

Reason #2: Retired Attorney vs. Paralegals

Their Service: Documents prepared by paralegals. Paralegals are trained to fill out forms but cannot provide legal advice by law. They’re form-fillers, not attorneys.

Our Service: Led by retired New Jersey attorney with 15+ years of family law experience. Practiced family law throughout New Jersey, knows Hudson County Superior Court, Essex County, Bergen County, all 21 counties inside and out. 1000s of divorce cases filed and successfully processed.

The Difference: When you have questions about your divorce, property division, custody, or process—our retired attorney can provide guidance based on 15+ years of legal experience. Paralegals at The Divorce Center cannot (it’s illegal for them to give legal advice).

Better Credentials. Lower Price. Makes Sense?

Reason #3: Same-Day Documents (Not 2-3 Days)

Their Turnaround: 2-3 business days for document preparation

Our Turnaround: Same-day documents available by demand. When you need your divorce documents urgently, we can prepare them the same day you provide your information.

Why It Matters: Maybe you need to file ASAP for personal reasons, work relocation, military deployment, or just want to move forward with your life quickly. Same-day service = same-day progress.

Reason #4: Truly 100% Online (No Office Visits)

Their Process: While they offer online filing, some services may require visiting one of their 7 physical locations (Elizabeth, Cherry Hill, East Brunswick, Vineland, Brick, NYC, or NJ online).

Our Process: 100% online, always. No office visits ever required. You never have to leave your home in Jersey City, Newark, Paterson, Hackensack, or anywhere in New Jersey.

Why It Matters: Convenience. No taking time off work, no driving to Elizabeth or Cherry Hill, no scheduling appointments, no parking hassles. Handle your entire divorce from your couch.

Reason #5: Coverage of All 21 NJ Counties (Not Just 7 Locations)

Their Coverage: 7 physical locations:

• Elizabeth (Union County)
• Cherry Hill (Camden County)
• East Brunswick (Middlesex County)
• Vineland (Cumberland County)
• Brick (Ocean County)
• NYC Manhattan
• Online (NJ)

Our Coverage: All 21 New Jersey counties. Hudson, Bergen, Essex, Passaic, Morris, Somerset, Union, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Salem, Hunterdon, Warren, Sussex, Mercer.

Why It Matters: If you live in Newark (Essex County), Paterson (Passaic County), Hackensack (Bergen County), Jersey City (Hudson County), or Trenton (Mercer County)—they don’t have offices near you. We serve your county just as well as counties where they have offices, but for $154 less.

• You strongly prefer in-person service over 100% online
• You live very close to one of their 7 locations and want to walk in
• You value 40+ years in business and don’t mind paying $154 more for it

• You want to save $154 (30% savings vs. The Divorce Center)
• You prefer retired attorney credentials (15+ years experience, 1000s of divorces) over paralegals
• You need same-day documents for urgent situations
• You want 100% online convenience with no office visits ever
• You live anywhere in NJ’s 21 counties and want equal service quality
• You want the option to ask legal questions to someone with 15+ years attorney experience

For Most NJ Couples: Our Service is the Smart Choice

Q: Is The Divorce Center a scam?

A: No, The Divorce Center is a legitimate paralegal service that’s been operating for 40+ years with a BBB A+ rating. They’re not a scam. They’re just more expensive ($499 vs. our $345) and staffed by paralegals instead of attorneys.

We’re not saying they’re bad—we’re saying our service is better value: lower price, better credentials (retired attorney vs. paralegals), faster service (same-day vs. 2-3 days), and more convenient (100% online vs. potential office visits).

Q: Why is your service $154 cheaper?

A: Lower overhead. The Divorce Center maintains 7+ physical office locations with rent, utilities, staff, etc. We’re 100% online with no physical offices.

This allows us to offer retired attorney-led service (better credentials than their paralegals) for $154 less. Lower overhead = lower price = better value for you.

Q: Can I really get better service for less money?

A: Yes, because of three factors:

• Technology: Our 100% online process is more efficient (no office overhead)
• Experience: Led by retired attorney (15+ years, 1000s of divorces)—not trying to upsell you
• Focus: We do one thing (NJ uncontested divorce), and we do it extremely well

The Divorce Center charges $499 because they can—they’ve been the dominant player for 40 years. But now there’s a better option: our $345 service with superior credentials.

Q: What if I’m already in contact with The Divorce Center?

A: You haven’t committed to anything yet. Before you pay The Divorce Center $499, compare:

• Price: $345 vs. $499 = Save $154
• Credentials: Retired attorney (15+ years) vs. paralegals
• Speed: Same-day documents vs. 2-3 days
• Convenience: 100% online vs. potential office visit

Call us at 201-205-3201 before you decide. At minimum, you’ll save $154. At best, you’ll get better service too.

Q: Do you serve the same courts as The Divorce Center?

A: Yes, absolutely. We prepare documents for filing at the same county Superior Courts:

• Hudson County Superior Court (595 Newark Avenue, Jersey City)
• Essex County Superior Court (Newark)
• Bergen County Justice Center (Hackensack)
• Passaic County Superior Court (Paterson)
• Middlesex County Superior Court (New Brunswick)
• Union County Superior Court (Elizabeth—same court The Divorce Center Elizabeth office uses)
• All other NJ counties

Same courts. Same process. Better credentials. Lower price.
