Divorce Document Preparation
Cost of Divorce in California
The cost of divorce can depend on whether the case is uncontested, whether children or property are involved, and whether extra services like filing or process serving are needed. Affordable LDA prepares divorce documents at your direction for clients in Fresno and throughout California.
What Affects the Cost of a California Divorce?
Most divorce costs depend on how much paperwork is needed and how complicated the case is. A divorce with no children and no property is usually simpler than a divorce involving custody, support, real estate, retirement, debts, or multiple court forms.
If both spouses agree, an uncontested divorce may be more straightforward. If one spouse does not respond, a default divorce may require a different set of documents.
