has anyone ever used legalzoom.com for an uncontested divorce?

I work at Rocketlawyer.com and would suggest you check out our help section on steps you should follow.

Here's a summary:

To file for an uncontested no fault divorce, you should first check to see if your state grants no fault divorces. If your state allows no fault divorces, you should determine whether you are eligible to file, since residency requirements vary from state to state. Also, some states demand an initial period of separation before you can file for a no fault divorce.

If you qualify to file for a no fault divorce, there are some basic steps you must take.

•You must file a “Petition for Divorce or Dissolution of Marriage.” Check with your local county clerk for the Petition form.

•You must serve your spouse with the Petition and a Summons (different states have different service processes and rules about who can serve the papers. Publication is only used as a last resort if the other spouse cannot be contacted.)

•Your spouse must file a response (or acceptance form or voluntary appearance form), otherwise the divorce goes into default judgment.

•Usually you and your spouse then enter a waiting period. This is the time to work on your Marital Separation Agreement and arrange a court hearing date.

•If the divorce is uncontested and both parties have reached a Settlement Agreement that the judge deems fair, a divorce is granted.

•If the divorce is contested (you and your spouse can’t agree on a settlement), or the judge thinks the settlement is not fair, your hearing can last much longer.

Check with your state to see what additional steps are necessary, determine which forms you need, and find out where to file.

If you need more help, it's best to find a Divorce Lawyer.

If you do proceed to use Rocket Lawyer for the Settlement agreement, you can get it for free with a 7 day trial of our Basic Legal Plan. Ongoing legal plans cost $19.95 a month and give you unlimited access to other documents. If you cancel during the 7 day trial though, there is no obligation and you will be charged nothing.
