Frequently Asked Questions
How much does divorce document preparation cost?+
Our fees are a fraction of what an attorney would charge — typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the complexity of your case, number of issues, and documents needed. We provide a clear quote during your free consultation. Court filing fees are separate.
Can you help with an uncontested divorce?+
Yes — uncontested divorces are our most common service. When both parties agree on all issues, we prepare the complete set of documents needed to finalize your dissolution efficiently. We prepare the Petition, Marital Settlement Agreement, and all supporting forms at your direction.
What if my spouse won't sign?+
If your spouse does not respond within 30 days of being served, you may be able to proceed with a default judgment. We can prepare the documents you need for a default divorce proceeding. If your case becomes contested, we can still prepare your documents at your direction.
How long does a California divorce take?+
California has a mandatory six-month waiting period from the date the Petition is served and the Response is filed. The fastest a divorce can be finalized is six months plus one day. The actual timeline depends on whether the divorce is contested and how quickly all required documents are completed.
What's the difference between divorce and legal separation?+
A divorce (dissolution) legally ends the marriage. A legal separation addresses the same issues — property division, support, and custody — but the parties remain legally married. We prepare documents for both.
