These two methods are used exclusively for the payment of the court filing fee, not for initial service registration, attorney review, or notarization fees.

Why we use Zelle

Zelle is a fast, secure, and direct way to transfer funds between U.S. bank accounts. It operates within your bank’s mobile app or online banking Divorce Portal, meaning you don’t need to download any separate app or register for a new service if your bank already supports Zelle.

We recommend Zelle as the fastest and most convenient method to pay your court filing fee. Because it offers real-time processing with no added fees for the sender or receiver, it minimizes administrative delays and ensures that your payment reaches us quickly for forwarding to the court.

How to Send a Court Fee via Zelle:

1. Log in to your mobile banking app or online banking account.
2. Find the Zelle feature (often under “Transfers” or “Send Money”).
3. Add our Zelle recipient info (you will receive the exact name and email from our support team).
4. Enter the exact amount of your court fee as instructed by our paralegal or attorney team.
5. Include a note such as: “[Your Full Name] – Court Filing Fee” to help us match the payment.
6. Send the payment and take a screenshot of the confirmation for your records.
   
7. Once we receive the Zelle payment, we will process it and submit it directly to the court on your behalf. The receipt of the court fee will then be uploaded into your Divorce Portal, so you can follow every step with full transparency.

Why We Use Money Order

If you do not use digital banking or prefer a more traditional payment method, we also accept Money Order for court filing fees. A money order is a prepaid paper certificate that you can purchase at most post offices, supermarkets, or convenience stores.

This option is reliable, traceable, and accepted by courts across the U.S. However, since money orders must be physically mailed, they take longer to process than Zelle, and may slightly extend your timeline before filing.

How to Send a Court Fee via Money Order:

1. Visit a local vendor that sells money orders (e.g., USPS, Western Union, Walmart, CVS, etc.).
2. Purchase a money order in the exact amount instructed by our team.
3. On the Money Order:
   
1. Pay to the order of: You will receive this name from our team (typically the courthouse or designated trust).
2. From: Write your full name clearly.
3. Memo line: Include a reference like “Court Filing Fee – [Your Name]”.
4. Mail the money order to the address provided by our team. Always use tracked shipping (e.g., USPS Certified Mail) for your peace of mind.
5. Notify us once it is sent, and upload a photo or scan of the receipt into your Divorce Portal if possible.
6. As soon as we receive the money order, we will submit it to the court and update your Divorce Portal accordingly.
   

Summary

Zelle and Money Order are used solely for court filing fees, not for our internal services or platform use.

These methods ensure court compliance, security, and reliable documentation.

Zelle is best for clients who want speed and convenience.

Money Order is a safe alternative for those who prefer non-digital payments.

We encourage you to reach out to our support team if you need help accessing Zelle, locating a money order vendor, or confirming the court fee total. Our goal is to ensure that this part of the process is as clear and smooth as possible, so you can focus on moving forward confidently.
