Online divorce companies

Hi can anyone share any experience of using an online divorce company?
My husband and I are divorcing due to a relationship breakdown. We have 4 children together and own our own home so need a financial agreement set up. We have agreed on the split of finances and for child maintenance etc. Just want a legal agreement so everyone knows where they stand. We are trying to keep it as amicable and as low cost as possible. Avoiding courts of possible. We are both keen to get it done ASAP so we can move on. 

Any advice is great fully received. 
Many thanks

    Simple enough to apply for divorce online without a divorce company at https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-divorce
    Not sure that the online companies do financial agreements as the agreement will need to be signed by you, your husband, your solicitor and your husband's solicitor before it can be approved by the court.

    Yes i just paid online for divorce, chose a package which included solicitors assistance and a clean break. I think it costed about 500pounds. After paying online a solicitors company got in touch with me and they were very good. The whole process dragged on as my ex was not signing paperwork but they never increased what i paid initially. It took over two years to get finalised but i can not complain. If both you and husband are agreeable about the divorce no need to go to family lawyers who will charge you by the minute.
    divorce-online.co.uk and choose package called solicitor managed divorce with clean break. This package will mean solicitor will also help you divide assets and finances
