Create & Print Your Own Divorce Papers

Avanquest Software

Create and Print Your Own Divorce Papers allows you to prepare all the papers necessary for either an undefended divorce petition or what's called a Judicial Separation which ends the legal obligation of a couple to live together, but leaves them still married. This is an important distinction because some people are unable or unwilling to divorce because of religious reasons.
It's based on a technology called Rapidocs which is a way of creating "intelligent documents" that are personalised with information supplied by you in answer to a series of detailed questions--as you fill in the answers, the document is created directly on the screen. It's a relatively long and complex process, but you can save the document and go back to it later, skip sections and return to them and there are useful notes throughout that explain the legal terms and offer more general guidance. On the rare occasions you have to put things in your own words, the program will provide some example text to help you out. When you've finished, not only do you end up with the affidavit and request for directions for trial but also the appropriate covering letters.
The end result is a legally binding undefended divorce petition which can be formatted using word processing-style commands (bold, italic, centred text and so on) printed out and submitted to the court when the time comes. Remember that creating divorce papers like this may be only a small part of the actual proceedings, and so useful as the product is, it's no substitute for up to date, relevant legal advice. --Rob Beattie
Personal Letters & Contracts

Avanquest Software

Everyone likes to complain about poor service or lack of workmanship, but there's an art to making effective written complaints that the authors behind Personal Letters & Contracts have mastered.
This program produces a series of so-called intelligent documents--standard letters--that can be personalised to your specific requirements based on the way you answer a set of questions. As you go through the questions in the right hand column (consulting the advisory notes along the way) the personalised letter builds before your eyes in the left hand column. When you've finished, you can review the letter full screen and make any final edits manually before printing off a copy and posting it. As well as complaints, the program also handles personal contracts (for example house-sharing and pre-nuptial agreements) requests for mediation in a dispute from watchdogs such as OFTEL and OFWAT, along with change of address, termination of contract and refusal of compensation letters.
As you'd expect, the content is good. The letter complaining about a hotel room not only offers plenty of scope for outlining the problem, but also quotes the 1982 Supply of Goods and Services Act in support of the complaint, while the refusal of compensation letter is so forceful that recipients will almost feel compelled to cough up. Make sure you register though to receive updates and information about changes to the law, and read the accompanying notes very carefully.
Of course, you can make up your own letters for most occasions, but the complaints here have the right tone, and the contracts use the right jargon and refer to the appropriate legislation. For the price, this is well worth a look. --Rob Beattie
