IF, and ONLY IF you have no children, no property, and no debts to deal with between you, then you *may* be able to use one of the kits available. This presumes you are willing to do your homework to research the legal questions involved if you don't know the answer, and DON'T GUESS.
If you don't do it correctly, the Court is not in a position to give you legal advice on how to do it correctly. You could end up having to do it again, or worse, find that you're divorced and that you then want to go back and change something in the terms of the decree.
If your spouse decides for any reason to contest the divorce, (yes, I know they are in agreement now, but that can change), then most likely they will retain an attorney.
IF you are not sure of what you're doing, and are not familiar with the legal process, I urge you to contact an attorney licensed in your state. You have several options, including paying them to do the divorce paperwork and filing the divorce for you, and you can also ask them up front for a consultation (please pay them for their time, they're giving you advice) and then use this consultation to educate yourself.

It depends upon the state in which you're seeking a divorce. Many states offer an uncontested divorce packet, downloadable from the court system's website.

Many states have self-help legal services available where you might be able to find the forms to fill out, even if you have children.
Go to your official state website and see if there is a link to something like "LEGAL". From there, you can probably hunt around and find the forms to fill out yourself.

You can get forms from the state or county where you live. If you agree, it's simple.
