Some people wonder about the huge gap in prices when it comes to various divorce services. Most people are surprised to learn the heavy work in dissolving a marriage comes "after" the divorce petition is filed. This is when the court requires the largest amount of documents and information. Of course, there is also the issue of wether your spouse responds to the petition or not. Understand, filing for divorce is different than completing a divorce. Some disreputable online services advertise insanely low prices such as $159, while not disclosing that petition creation/filing alone doesn't get you anywhere. Reputable paralegal services like us charge around $470 for a judgment. Some Lawyers charge $10,800. Why?
One reason hinges on what you submit or don’t submit to the court significantly increases the length of the proceeding. Another has to do with ownership rights and obligations under a marriage, such as personal and real property that was transferred or agreed upon with third parties during the marriage, either with or without consent. There are several steps during a divorce proceeding in California. The petition is only the first papers which need to be filed. A court clerk may accept a petition by examining the form(s) for completeness.
Here's an hypothetical of the different costs mentioned above:
Imagine John and Sarah have been married for 15 years. During the marriage they purchased a home, accumulated retirement accounts, started a small business, refinanced property, co-signed loans for family members, and one spouse transferred assets into a trust without the other’s knowledge. They also have two children.
The $159 Service
John visits an online website. The service asks him a series of questions and automatically fills out the standard California divorce forms based entirely on his answers. The completed Petition is generated, and John files it with the court.
The court clerk reviews the forms only to determine whether they appear complete enough for filing. The clerk does not determine whether John’s legal rights have been fully asserted, whether important issues have been omitted, or whether additional allegations should have been included.
Several months later, disputes arise over separate property reimbursements, business interests, retirement benefits, and obligations involving third parties. John learns that additional legal issues must now be addressed during the case, oftentimes requiring amended pleadings, additional motions, and petitions.
The $10,800 Attorney Sarah hires before filing.
Instead of simply completing forms, the attorney spends many hours learning the history of the marriage, reviewing financial records, identifying community and separate property issues, evaluating reimbursement claims, discussing potential custody disputes, identifying possible support issues, reviewing business interests, examining prior agreements, anticipating future litigation, and developing an overall legal strategy.
The attorney prepares the initial Petition with the entire divorce case in mind—not merely the first filing. The attorney also prepares for service of process, disclosure requirements, negotiations, temporary orders if necessary, discovery, settlement discussions, and trial if the matter cannot be resolved.
In other words, much of the attorney’s fee is not simply for preparing forms. It is for legal advice, strategic planning, issue spotting, advocacy, and representation throughout what may become a lengthy and complex legal proceeding.
The Important Point
The initial Petition is only the first step in a California divorce. While every case begins with filing the Petition, the legal and factual decisions made before and during that filing can influence the direction of the entire case.
A court clerk may accept a Petition because the required forms appear complete. However, acceptance for filing is not a determination that every legal issue has been identified, every right has been preserved, or every future dispute has been anticipated.
For some couples with uncomplicated circumstances, a low-cost document preparation service may provide exactly what they need. For others with significant assets, debts, children, business interests, or disputed issues, the value of legal advice may extend far beyond simply preparing the initial paperwork. If your'e unsure where on spectrum you fall, give us a call during business hours.

A Couples Tale
In order to understand the meaning of "divorce" or "custody" it would be necessary to explore a broad range of topics.
The California family code is not simply a legal construct, but embraces, social, historical and sometimes religious concerns. One telling factor in attempting to ascertain the meaning of family law(s) may be divorce papers: Why do family laws exist?
Considering the following excerpt from the The Tinker's Wedding, the principal characters, Michael Bryne and Sarah Casey, are Tinkers- traveling steel menders. Their association began one day at Rathvanna when Micheal hit Sarah " a great clout in the lug", after which she came along with him from that hour to the present day.
The action of the play is set in motion by Sarah's sudden demand for filing divorce papers in California, backed by a threat of leaving, that she and Micheal be seperated. We can infer by their spirited and affectionate banter that Sarah's demand is not a symptom of any serious trouble. Except for this one point, she seems generally happy " thriving and getting her good health by the grace of the almighty God". As the play opens, Micheal has already agreed to go along with Sarah's desire for a divorce paralegal, although he does not understand it, and he is putting the finishing touches on her home made ring. All the remains to be done is to find a priest to do the job.
But things are not so easily arranged. The local priest comes walking along the road by the tinkers' camp, but he rejects as preposterous Sarah's request that he perform a divorce in California for no fee, and requests a bit of silver "be thrown" in as part of the bargain. After some discussion, he says he could see his way clear to offer the tinkers' a special reduced price for one pound. But Micheal and Sarah do not have a pound. Finally after prolonged bargaining, the priest agrees to divorce the couple and file their divorce papers for a gallon can which Michael has almost finished making. The priest is not moved by Sarah's claim of poverty, unkindly pointing out that the tinkers are well known to steal " east and west in Wicklow and Wexford and the County of Meath"
After the deal is struck, the divorce paralegal near by is called for the next day. But alas, during the night Micheal's old mother, Mary overcome by the temptation takes the newly made gallon can to sell it at the local pub in order to get a "pint for her sheep". To put off the moment of reckoning with Sarah, she sneaks a couple of empty bottles into the sack which had contained the gallon can. Naturally, when the priest opens the sack the next day and finds only bottles, he thinks that Micheal and Sarah have tried to deceive him. He indignantly refuses to file their divorce papers for them for ten shillings without the gallon can. After increasingly harsh words are exchanged, Sarah's disappointment turns to anger and the play ends with the priest trussed and thrown into a ditch. As the tinkers leave him, Sarah waives to the the divorce paralegal to remind him of the promise he made -under duress- not to tell the police he was roughed up.
This little tale poses a number of interesting questions. It is Sarah's desire to get divorce papers that precipitates the action. But are not Micheal and Sarah already divorced? A sociologist would probably consider that Micheal and Sarah had been divorced in California for some time according to their long standing customs. Although, at the same time, a clerk would vehemently oppose this notion since no divorce paper were ever filed between the two. In the play, all indications are that Micheal and Sarah intended that their separation would be permanent, and it is clear from the text that they held themselves out to the community as divorced. So it may be fair to assume then when such a union reaches its expiration, both parties would want to be seen as "together" no longer.

Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested Divorce
Uncontested divorces are generally straightforward cases, in which both partners have reached a mutual agreement on all the vital aspects of the divorce. Both parties can negotiate and settle on critical financial matters, the division of property that they owned together, as well as child custody, and a host of other matters. Although both partners desire the dissolution of the marriage, only one can file a divorce petition.
This type of divorce is only an option for parties that can part amicably and cooperate well on a final agreement.
One of the worst mistakes people make in uncontested divorces is not consulting with a divorce attorney ahead of time, due to the misperception of these cases’ “simple” and “easy” in nature. However, without legal representation, you can end up relinquishing rights to certain benefits that you didn’t know you were entitled to, such as alimony, a portion of your partner’s pension benefits, income from businesses, and real estate.
In California, all divorces take a minimum of six months to finalize. However, uncontested divorces are still faster and less expensive, because they don’t require a lengthy court process.
Contested Divorce
Contested Divorce
Contested divorces are often very stressful, time-consuming, and can be costly to litigate. In a contested divorce, one or both spouses can’t agree on important matters such as child support, alimony, and property division. In such cases, mediation may be able to help. In divorce mediation, both spouses and their attorney will meet with a neutral third party to help work out their issues.
However, if the couple can’t agree on critical matters, the courts will have to intervene. Family law judges do their best to remain impartial and consider the interests of the parties involved. In reality, they don’t know your family personally, and can only make decisions based on what’s on paper.
Simplified Divorce
Simplified Divorce
A simplified divorce is a relatively less messy way to dissolve a short-term marriage. To qualify for a simplified divorce, both partners must be residents of California for at least six months at the time of filing divorce papers. In addition, couples must file a divorce jointly under the no-fault ground of irreconcilable differences. There are extra criterion a married couple must meet to obtain a simplified divorce:
Cannot be married for more than five years
Couples don’t own joint property or have more than $4,000 in joint debt, excluding car loans.
Community property may not exceed $25,000
Individual property may not exceed $25,000
When you agree to a simplified divorce, both parties waive their right to spousal support. Both partners also have to sign a waiver agreeing to divide all the assets they own.
No-Fault Divorce
No-Fault Divorce
California was the first state to permit no-fault divorces. In this type of divorce, the courts don’t consider the misconduct or the wrongdoings of either partner. Therefore, the spouse filing the divorce papers doesn’t have to prove fault or present evidence as grounds for the divorce. This approach is ideal if the couple wishes to dissolve their marriage due to “irreconcilable differences” or “irreparable breakdown” of the marriage.
Limited Divorce
Limited Divorce
A limited divorce is similar to legal separation in that the couple remains married, but they no longer live together. This court-supervised separation temporarily establishes specific responsibilities regarding child support, spousal support, health insurance coverage, and property division. A limited divorce is the least common type of divorce proceeding. If a married couple needs more time to resolve their legal and financial issues, a limited divorce is an ideal option.
How Community Property Analysis Works
Here is basic community property vs. separate property analytical scaffolding prepared by a divorce paralegal near me:
Generally speaking, all property acquired by either spouse during marriage is presumed to be community property per FC section 760. "During marriage" means between the date of the creation of the legal relationship under the Family Law Act (including Registered Domestic Partners) and the date of physical separation ("DOS").
This presumption does not apply to gifts or inheritances received by a spouse during the marriage. It can be rebutted if a separatizing spouse can trace the asset or property to a separate property source. FC section 770.
Earnings and accumulations of a spouse while living separate and apart from the other (i.e., after the DOS) is separate property. FC section 771.
Under California's community property law, the characterization of property as separate, community, or quasi-community is therefore an integral part of every court's division of property upon divorce.
While several characterization factors exists, the most basic is the date of acquisition of the property (i.e., a time rule).
Once assets and liabilities are determined to be part of the community estate, they must be valued and divided equally per Family Code section 2550.
