Why Choose Autonomy for Your Divorce
Most DIY divorce services hand you a stack of blank PDFs and wish you luck. Autonomy is fundamentally different. It is not a form-filling service. It is an AI-guided divorce preparation platform with professional-grade tools that, until now, were only available to attorneys.

How Autonomy Works
You talk to Paige, your AI legal assistant, in plain English (or Spanish). She asks you questions about your situation, explains what each legal concept means, determines exactly which forms your case requires, and fills them out from your conversation. Behind the scenes, professional-grade calculation engines handle child support math, property division analysis, and document generation. You get complete, court-ready documents with your specific information already in every field.
What You Get
AI-Guided From Start to Finish
Paige is an AI legal assistant (powered by Claude) who walks you through the entire divorce process conversationally. She does not hand you a questionnaire with 200 fields. She talks to you. She asks questions in plain language, explains legal concepts when you need them, figures out which forms your specific case requires, and fills them out from your answers. If you are not sure about something, she explains your options. Paige is fully bilingual, speaking English and Spanish with equal fluency, not through machine translation but through native-level comprehension.
Attorney-Grade Child Support Calculator
This is not a rough estimate. Autonomy includes Overnight, a professional-grade child support calculation engine that uses the actual state formula (Michigan Child Support Formula or Florida Guidelines under F.S. 61.30) with real inputs: both parents' incomes, overnights per year, health insurance premiums, childcare costs, and other statutory factors. This is the same calculation engine that family law attorneys use through Verity, our professional platform. You get the real number, the one the court will use.

Intelligent Property Division
Divide is an analysis engine that helps you split marital property and debts fairly. It understands equitable distribution principles, helps identify what is marital property versus separate property, and generates specific allocation language for your Judgment of Divorce. Not generic boilerplate, but specific provisions: who gets the house, who is responsible for which debts, what happens to retirement accounts, how vehicles are assigned. The kind of detail that attorneys charge thousands to draft.

Your Documents, Read by AI
PremiumWith the Premium tier, you upload your actual financial documents (pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, retirement account statements) and Paige reads them using AI vision. She extracts the relevant financial data and uses it to fill your forms with real numbers pulled directly from your documents, not estimates you typed from memory. This is the difference between “I think I make about $50,000” and the exact gross income figure from your pay stub.
Every Form, Every Field, Pre-Filled
Autonomy does not generate blank forms. It generates complete, court-ready documents with your specific information already filled into every required field. Every form your case type requires, from the Summons and Complaint through the Judgment of Divorce, child support orders, custody provisions, and property settlement. In Michigan, that means SCAO-approved forms. In Florida, that means Florida Supreme Court approved forms. You review, sign, and file.
Completely Bilingual
Autonomy provides a full Spanish-language experience. Not translated forms with English instructions. The entire platform, including Paige, works in Spanish. For Florida's 6.2 million Hispanic residents, this is the only DIY divorce service of its kind. The bilingual experience covers everything: the intake conversation, legal explanations, form generation, and filing instructions. If Spanish is your first language, you will never hit a wall where the platform switches to English and leaves you guessing.
Built by a Licensed Attorney
Autonomy was built by Michael Haskell (P73617), a family law attorney licensed in three states with an MBA and a federal judicial clerkship. This is not a tech company that hired a consultant to review its forms. The legal logic, the calculation engines, the document templates, and the procedural guidance were all built by someone who has actually filed these documents in court, argued these issues before judges, and calculated these numbers for real clients. That matters when the court reviews your paperwork.
E-Filing Ready
FloridaIn Florida, e-filing is mandatory statewide through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal (myflcourtaccess.com). Many DIY filers struggle with document formatting requirements, rejected uploads, and confusing portal instructions. Autonomy generates documents that are formatted and ready to upload directly. No reformatting, no conversion, no rejected submissions because your margins were wrong. Generate your documents, download them, and upload to the portal.
Your State's Laws, Not Generic Templates
Autonomy is built for each state individually. In Florida, it uses “time-sharing” (not “custody”), cites F.S. Chapter 61, and generates Florida Supreme Court approved forms. In Michigan, it references the Michigan Child Support Formula, uses SCAO forms, and follows MCR 3.206 procedures. When Paige explains your options, she is explaining your state's specific rules, not national averages or general legal principles. This is not a one-size-fits-all platform repackaged for 50 states.
County-Specific Guidance
Autonomy provides filing instructions specific to your county: your courthouse address, clerk office hours, filing fees, local procedures, and any county-specific requirements. All 67 Florida counties. All 83 Michigan counties. Not generic statewide instructions that leave you calling the clerk's office to figure out the rest.
Your Data, Protected
AES-256 encryption for all data in transit and at rest. We never share your information with third parties. Your documents are stored securely and only accessible to you. Social Security numbers are stored encrypted and displayed masked on generated forms.

The average Florida attorney charges $3,000–$5,000 for an uncontested divorce. In Michigan, uncontested attorney fees typically run $1,500–$3,000. Even at the Premium tier, Autonomy costs less than the initial retainer most attorneys require before they start working on your case.
Your filing fees (paid directly to the court) are separate and vary by state and county. In Michigan, expect $175–$255. In Florida, expect approximately $408–$418.
For Complex Cases
Autonomy is designed for uncontested divorces where both spouses can reach an agreement. For contested divorces, cases involving hidden assets, business valuations, or high-conflict custody disputes, you should consult a family law attorney.
Are you a family law attorney? Attorneys who handle complex cases use Verity, our professional platform built on the same calculation engines. If your case starts as uncontested but becomes contested, the work you have already done in Autonomy (financial analysis, property inventory, support calculations) gives your attorney a significant head start.
