Frequently asked questions

File Now, answered

What’s included?

Everything in Credible Threat, then Squabble prepares, checks, and files your case, with full case-management platform access, status updates, and a courtesy Email notice copy sent to the other party.

Does File Now actually file my case?

Yes. Squabble prepares your court-ready set, checks it for administrative and jurisdictional accuracy, and files it with the appropriate court.

Is my case filed as soon as I pay?

No. Payment submits your claim to Squabble for review. With File Now or Dedicated Case Agent, court filing comes later, after you approve your paperwork.

Why are court filing fees separate?

Those fees are charged by the court and depend on the filing. You would also pay the court’s filing fees if you handled the filing yourself.

Is the other party served?

File Now includes Email notice, a courtesy email copy of your court paperwork to the other party. That is not lawful service of process. For formal service by a process server, add Service of Process.

Can I add formal Service of Process?

Yes. Service of Process is $138, ordered after you submit, available under File Now and a Dedicated Case Agent.

Can I upgrade to a Dedicated Case Agent?

Yes, you can move up to a Dedicated Case Agent anytime without re-entering your facts.

Is this legal advice?

No. Squabble is attorney-founded but is not your lawyer and does not provide legal advice or representation.
