- Petition, summons, and service paperwork

File your divorce together, without serving papers
Since January 1, 2026, California spouses who agree can start their divorce jointly. No one gets served, and no one is the defendant.
- Joint Petition (FL-700) and Joint Summons (FL-710)
- Available with children, a house, and assets
- Both spouses sign and file together
- Disclosures and judgment prepared
Spouse won’t sign? You can still finish
In California your spouse does not have to agree or sign. Once they are served and 30 days pass with no response, your divorce can move forward without them.
- Petition prepared and service explained
- Request to Enter Default (FL-165)
- Judgment package for the court
- Works when a spouse has moved away
A parenting plan your children can count on
Put your schedule, holidays, and support in writing on the right forms, so everyone knows what to expect and the judge can approve it.
- Parenting plan and visitation schedule
- UCCJEA declaration (FL-105) and attachments
- Child support forms FL-150, FL-350, FL-300
- Agreements or requests to change an order
Support set, changed, or ended
Whether you need support while the divorce is pending, or your income changed and the old order no longer fits, the paperwork has to be right.
- Temporary support requests and responses
- Income and Expense Declaration (FL-150)
- Requests to modify or terminate support
- Long-term support written into the judgment

Legal separation gives you court orders on property, support, and custody while you stay married. There is no six-month wait and no residency requirement.
