The number is below, next to what the alternatives cost, because a price with nothing beside it is just a number. During launch the software is free — the prices shown are what it will cost when billing turns on, and nobody who starts free will be charged later.

| Path | Typical cost | Who it fits | What you don't get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two retained attorneys | Several thousand dollars each, billed hourly — retainers commonly start in the thousands | Genuine disputes; complex assets; power imbalance | Speed, and control over the bill |
| A mediator, then file yourselves | Low thousands, usually split; the court's program covers the first two hours after filing | Couples who agree in principle but keep stalling on two or three things | The documents — a mediator produces an agreement, not the packet |
| A national online service | Roughly $150–$500, sometimes with a monthly renewal after 30 days | Simple cases in states where their forms are current | New Jersey specifics: the CN forms, Directive #01-25, county practice |
| Clear Parting Docs | $299 or $399, once, per couple | New Jersey couples who agree on everything and want it done properly | Legal advice — and we say so, and hand you to a lawyer for that piece |
Court fees are the same on every path: $300 to file, $175 for a responsive pleading, $25 per parent for the parenting class. Ranges above are general New Jersey figures as of September 2026; get a quote for your own situation.
A New Jersey clerk who sends back a document because of a defect in how we prepared it gets a corrected document from us at no charge. That is the sentence a document mill cannot say. What nobody can promise is the court's decision on the substance of your case — and anyone who does is not being straight with you.
One payment covers the couple. Either of you can pay all of it, or each of you can pay half from your own account — the case unlocks when the total is met. No card is required to start; you pay when you are ready to sign, not before you have seen the documents.
Same software, same price. When a question needs legal judgment rather than paperwork — alimony, a pension, a house, a spouse who has gone quiet — you engage a New Jersey attorney directly for that piece. Most couples who do this buy one flat-fee review of the settlement agreement before signing. The firm sets that fee; you pay them, not us; Clear Parting Docs receives nothing from it.
Court fees are set by the state: $300 to file the complaint, $175 if the responding spouse files an Answer or Appearance, and $25 per parent for the Parents' Education Program when there are minor children. Clear Parting Docs charges a one-time $299 ($399 with children) for the complete document packet. Two retained attorneys typically cost several thousand dollars each; mediation typically runs into the low thousands split between the couple.
No. One payment per couple, not per person, and it never renews. At least one national service advertises a low headline price that auto-renews monthly after 30 days — check the fine print on any service, including ours.
One payment covers the couple. Either spouse can pay it, and you can split it — each pays half from their own account — if that is fairer for you.
If a New Jersey clerk rejects a document we prepared because of a defect in how we prepared it, we correct it at no charge. What no software can guarantee is the court's decision on the substance of your case.
Full refund within 30 days if you have not yet downloaded your completed packet — no reason needed. After download, we refund any purchase where the software failed to do what this page says it does.
That is set by the firm, not by us. When a question needs legal judgment you can engage Gray Law Group, LLC directly for that piece — most couples who do this buy one flat-fee review of the settlement agreement before signing. You pay them, not us, and Clear Parting Docs receives nothing from it.
Yes, and if you cannot afford the court's $300 filing fee, ask us about pricing too — write to support@clearpartingdocs.com. The fee waiver itself is granted by the court, not by us; our guide explains how to apply.
