Family Law Document Preparation
Professional preparation of family law documents for self-represented individuals throughout California. We help you complete your paperwork accurately at your direction — no attorney required.
What We Prepare
Divorce / Dissolution of Marriage
Petition, Response, Marital Settlement Agreement, and Judgment — the complete set of documents to legally end a marriage in California. Prepared at your specific direction.
Legal Separation
Petition, Response, and related filings. Legal separation addresses the same issues as divorce — property division, support, custody — while keeping the marital status intact.
Annulment
Petition and supporting documents for those seeking to have a marriage declared legally invalid. Different legal grounds than divorce.
Spousal Support / Alimony
Requests, modifications, and termination documents for spousal support. Prepared based on the terms and figures you provide.
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Document preparation for agreements made before or during marriage regarding property and support rights.
Property Division
Community and separate property documentation to implement the property terms you've agreed upon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me file for divorce in California?+
Yes. We prepare all required divorce documents — Petition, Response, financial disclosures, Marital Settlement Agreement, and Judgment forms. We prepare them based on your instructions, and you file them with the court.
What's the difference between divorce and legal separation?+
A divorce (dissolution) legally ends the marriage. A legal separation does not end the marriage but addresses the same issues — property division, support, and custody — while keeping the marital status intact. We prepare documents for both.
Do I need an attorney for a divorce?+
Not necessarily. Many people handle their divorce without attorneys, especially when both parties agree. We prepare your documents at your direction, saving you thousands in legal fees. If your case involves complex issues, we can refer you to an attorney for advice.
How long does a California divorce take?+
California has a mandatory six-month waiting period from the date the Petition is served. The actual timeline depends on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested and how quickly the required documents are completed and filed.
