You have the option of purchasing our fill-in-online forms which, as they are
called, can be filled out right on the screen of your computer, then printed
out on your home or office printer, ready to file (hence our name
Courtready.com® ). Also... even
our basic fill-in-the-blank forms will come with your name, address, phone
number and the other party's name pre-printed in every required location
(approximately 50 entries in a typical forms package).

What if I purchase
"fill-in-the-blank" forms from your website and screw them up. Will I need to
pay full price to purchase another set?
No. If you purchase "fill-in-the-blank" forms, we recommend that you an extra set
of documents before you begin typing on them, that way if you make mistakes,
you will have you originals. If you forget or fail to do this, you can log back
into the website, pay a small fee, and print out a new set.

What if I already purchased a
fill-in-the-blank form kit from you, and now I wish I had spent the few extra
dollars to do it online?
You can log back into our website, enter your personal identification number
[PIN] and click on [upgrade], and we will just charge you the difference
between the cost of the two packages. Cool, huh!

What if while I am reviewing
my forms on-line, I change my mind about information that I have already

After you have initially entered you information and you are reviewing the
competed forms, and you spot something you want to change, just click the
[Back] button, and then enter the desired correction, click [Next] reprint that
form (you will need to re-print both the initial form {complaint, petition,
motion} and the proposed Judgment or Order.

What if I already filed my

After you have filed your documents with the court, and for whatever reason

want or need to file an Amended Complaint or Petition, you can just log back
into
Courtready.com®
, click on the type of legal forms that you purchased, click on [Amend],
enter you original "personal identification number" [PIN], make the desired

Petition; and your Judgment or Order will have to contain the exact same
information as your amended complaint or petition. There will be an additional
fee associated with amending your documents after they have been filed with the
court. The court also may or may not charge a small additional fee to file
amended papers.

I have found other websites that claim they can
provide the paper-work for an Idaho divorce, why should I choose you?
Primarily because... as far as we know, we are the only Idaho based website,
which gives us the advantage of being familiar with Idaho's particular forms,
rules and procedures. Some out-of-state websites claim to offer forms for all
states, nut in our experience (over 12 years & having prepared more that
4,000 Idaho divorces), their forms usually don't work... and they are more
expensive. Why take a chance on getting burned. We also provide lots of other
legal forms besides divorce, like modifications for when things change, and
contept-of-court for when the other party doesn't follow the divorce decree.
Pus, we can help you with all of the other legal matters listed to the right.

I had a child outside of
marriage, and the mother won't allow me any visitation... does Courtready.com®
have forms that will help me to establish my custody and visitation rights?
We can provide you all of the forms needed to establish paternity, legal and
physical custody, visitation and the parties' respective child support
obligations. If you and the mother signed an Acknowledgment of Paternity at the
hospital, or if you were ordered by the Department of Health & Welfare to
pay child support or reimburse the state for the birth cost of you child, you
half-way there. If paternity has been established, click on [Custody], if not
yet officially established, click on [Paternity].

My boyfriend and I had a baby
together, we no longer get along, and I am afraid that if I allow him to take
the child for visitation, he won't bring the baby back... does Courtready.com®
have forms that will protect me?
Basically, same answer as above. Either parent may file to establish the parties'
respective legal custody and visitation rights. Otherwise, neither one of you
has legal or physical custody, and the police will not help either one of you
until there is a court order in place starting where or with whom the child is
supposed to be on any given date and time.

Can I use Courtready.com®
to help me obtain modification of my existing child custody and/or child
support obligation?
We can't guarantee that the court will grant exactly the relief that you request,
however we can guarantee that with our forms you will be able to file you
request with the Court and have a hearing, all without having to retain an
attorney to represent you. In order to qualify for a modification, the Court
requires that you establish that there has been a material and substantial
change in circumstances since the order was entered, or since it was lost
modified.

What if the language on you
forms just doesn't adequately allow me to describe my situation, or provide a
solution for what I want to accomplish?
You may contact our sister-company Self-Help Alternatives at (208) 344-3208 for a
more custom solution. There are no attorneys there either, but they are able to
make extensive changes to the forms that are not possible in our website
format.

If I don't understand all of
the legal ramifications of filing documents in the Court, can you give my any
legal advice?
No... we are not attorneys, and therefore we are not allowed to give you any
specific legal advice - but... if you question is a general question, or a
procedural question, we can probably provide you with sufficient information or
direct you to other resources to resolve your questions(s).

Will my documents be
reviewed by a lawyer?
No. We are not a law office, and have no lawyers in our employ (that's why we can
offer this service so cheaply!) We have tried to provide good forms with good
instructions, so that a lawyer should be unnecessary. All of the forms on this
website have been used successfully for many years in Idaho. If you believe
that you need to have your documents reviewed, contact us, and we may be able
refer you to a licensed attorney who will review them for a small fee.

Are the Court's filing fees
included in the cost of forms purchased on this website?
No. We are not affiliated with the Court (although, unknown to the, their
employees frequently recommend us). Click on Court Fees above for the Court's
current fee schedule. The fee schedule is very lengthy and confusing, so we
recommend that you first click on the legal category to the right, then click
on CourtFees and you will be taken directly to the fees for that type of
matter.

If you have other questions that we did not anticipate above, you can e-mail your
question to help@courtready.com Keep in mid that we are not a law office and

testimonial" about how the forms or process worked for you. This will give

personal satisfaction... helping you beat the system designed by and for lawyer
enrichment).
