 Family Law

There are many different types of Family Law filings, from the initial Divorce/Dissolution to Post-Judgment matters such as Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. The following are some of the more common filings and the flat fee for each.

All pricing is for us to prepare, file, and serve (via mail) all documents for an uncontested matter. If the case becomes contested you can either represent yourself in court or hire an attorney. If the judge requires a hearing for your case to be settled there are additional fees to prepare and file paperwork. If personal service or additional process serving is necessary or process serving outside of our local area, there will be an additional fee. You are free to handle the service of process yourself if you wish or we can refer you to local Process Servers that are available to assist you. 
The Mandatory Superior Court fees are not included in the prices below. The Superior Court will charge upon filing, unless you qualify for a fee waiver. Check to see if you qualify for a fee waiver: https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/fw001.pdf
