LetsGetDivorced.com
|
|
In 2012 Jerry decided to create LetsGetDivorced.com to help solve a big financial challenge that many people encounter when pursuing a divorce — they can't afford to hire a lawyer to handle their divorce.
|
|
Jerry envisioned LetsGetDivorced.com as a platform that provides an affordable, convenient, and user-friendly online divorce service, enabling people to complete and generate ready-to-file forms for an uncontested, no-fault divorce without an attorney. His goal was to model the service after popular online tax preparation software, like TurboTax®, which allows users to prepare and file their tax forms simply and affordably without an accountant's assistance.
|
|
Jerry's expertise in creating helpful, easy-to-use, high quality software like TurboTax® was honed when he worked for over 10 years at Intuit®, the parent company of TurboTax®, which is used by hundreds of millions of people.
|
|
While at Intuit®, Jerry had the rare honor of being selected as a speaker for its annual Technology Forum two years in a row, 2004 and 2005. There, he presented on utilizing new software technology to streamline the development of user-friendly, internet-based web applications.
|
|
Jerry leveraged the expertise and experience he gained at Intuit®, to create user-friendly online software, and combined it with his background and expertise as an attorney to develop the LetsGetDivorced.com online divorce forms preparation service.
|
|
Jerry didn't just create LetsGetDivorced.com; he also personally used its online divorce service for his own uncontested, no-fault divorce. So, based on his own firsthand experience, he knows that it is easy to use — and works. Jerry is very grateful that, for over a decade, LetsGetDivorced.com has assisted over 100,000 people in filing a low-cost uncontested divorce, enabling them to move forward into new chapters of their lives.
|
Jerry's philosophy about divorce:
|
|
Believe in Your Worth: Always remember that you are a valuable person who deserves happiness and contentment.
|
|
Preserve Relationships: Aim to maintain a civil, if not friendly, relationship with your spouse after your divorce.
|
|
Embrace the Future: Progress with the confidence that you possess the power to forge a positive and happy future for yourself.
