Mochi Divorce Legal
Support
What a divorce actually involves — how long, how much, and what people
find out too late. If something isn't working, or the app has a rule wrong, there is a real
person at the other end of the links below.
Common questions
- Is this legal advice?
- No, and it is built not to be. It explains how divorce works and what the rules are in
each state. It will not tell you whether to end a marriage, predict what a court would
decide, say what you are owed, or tell you that a deadline is yours. Those need someone who
knows your state and your facts and is accountable for the answer.
- Why does it ask me five questions?
- Because a timeline and a budget for a divorce are not useful. Knowing the
state, whether there are children, how much the two of you agree, and what there is to
divide is what turns a generic range into one worth planning around. Every question is
optional, and skipping all five still gives a working app showing national ranges.
- What do my answers change?
- They pick which figures and which pages you are shown, and nothing else. They never
change a word on any page, and nothing is ever put permanently out of reach —
Show everything in Settings turns the filtering off entirely.
- Where do the numbers come from?
- Two kinds, always labelled differently. A statutory waiting period or a published
filing fee carries the section or schedule it came from and is marked set by law.
Everything else — how long a case of a given shape usually takes, how many hours it
might take an attorney — is a planning assumption and says so. Tap the timeline to
see every input that produced its range.
- Why won't it tell me what a lawyer costs?
- Because nothing official publishes it. Courts publish filing fees; the attorney figures
people quote come from commercial surveys, which this app does not cite. So it gives you
the structure — the hours band, the cost drivers, the free options — and you
put in a rate you have actually been quoted.
- Can it look up or track my case?
- No. Divorce records are far less available than people expect: California publishes
only the register of actions online and keeps documents at the courthouse, and New York
seals matrimonial files outright. The app explains where the docket lives, what its entries
mean, and what your state makes public — but it does not connect to anything.
- Does any of this leave my phone?
- No. There is no account, no server, no analytics and no crash reporting, and no
networking code in the app at all. See the privacy policy.
- Is the content reviewed by a lawyer?
- Everything was written from the statutes and official court pages it cites, and the app
says in Settings → Sources exactly what review status it carries. Treat it as a map of
the process, not as a statement of what the law is where you live.
- A rule is wrong for my state.
- Tell us and we will check it against the section it was written from. Include the state
and which fact, and we will correct it or explain why it stands.
- I am not safe.
- The first screen of the app has a route straight to emergency numbers, the National
Domestic Violence Hotline and the 988 Lifeline, with a quick exit that closes everything
without confirmation. Paperwork stops mattering; please use it.
