Nothing too big or small
Divorce services for every situation
Uncontested divorce
If you and your spouse already agree on key issues, an experienced attorney can help ensure your paperwork is completed correctly, your agreements are properly documented, and your divorce is finalized as smoothly as possible.
Get started
Filing for divorce
Whether you're filing for an uncontested divorce or dealing with more complex issues, an experienced divorce attorney can help you understand your options, complete the necessary paperwork, and take the next step with confidence.
Get started
Child custody & parenting time
Whether you're creating a parenting plan, negotiating custody arrangements, or dealing with a dispute, legal guidance can help you protect your relationship with your children and work toward a solution.
Get started
Spousal support
Spousal support, often called alimony, can be one of the most complex issues in a divorce. Whether you're seeking support or may be required to pay it, an experienced attorney can help you understand your rights, obligations, and the factors that may affect your case's outcome.
Get started
Divorce settlements
Many divorces are resolved through negotiated settlement agreements rather than a trial. An experienced attorney can help you evaluate proposals, negotiate key terms, and work toward a resolution that protects your interests while helping you avoid unnecessary conflict.
Get started
Contested divorce
If you and your spouse disagree on issues like custody, finances, or dividing assets, having the right legal support can make all the difference. Work with an experienced divorce attorney who can help you navigate conflict, protect your rights, and move your case forward.
Get started
Responding to divorce papers
Understanding your rights and responsibilities early can help you avoid costly mistakes and protect your interests. Work with a divorce attorney to help you evaluate your options and develop a strategy for moving forward.
Get started
Child support
Child support can have a real impact on both parents' futures. Understanding how support is calculated, what factors courts consider, and what options may be available can help you make informed decisions.
Get started
Property and asset division
Dividing property during a divorce involves more than deciding who gets what. Homes, retirement accounts, investments, businesses, and debts may all need to be considered. Legal guidance can help you understand your options and work toward a fair division of marital assets.
Get started
Post-divorce modifications
Life changes after divorce. Whether you need to modify child custody, child support, spousal support, or another court order, an attorney can help you understand your options and pursue changes that reflect your circumstances.

Your questions, answered
It costs $435 to file for divorce, legal separation, or nullity in Santa Clara County, per the Statewide Civil Fee Schedule (Gov. Code § 70670(b)). There's no local surcharge here, unlike Riverside, San Bernardino, or San Francisco. Fee waivers are available.
Someone 18 or older who isn't part of the case has to serve your spouse, often a friend, family member, or private process server. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Civil Unit can also do it, though it doesn't publish a set fee for this service.
At least 6 months, starting from when your spouse is served or formally appears in the case, whichever comes first (Cal. Fam. Code § 2339). It's a statewide rule, and even an uncontested divorce can't finalize sooner.
No. California doesn't require an attorney to file. But mistakes on the forms or at a hearing can be costly: community property is split 50/50 by law (Cal. Fam. Code § 2550), and custody orders are court-approved.
To get started, book a free call with us.
Yes. You only need to cite irreconcilable differences or a spouse's permanent legal incapacity (Cal. Fam. Code § 2310), with no need to prove fault like adultery or abuse.
Legal separation is its own court status in California, filed the same way as divorce (same $435 fee, same clerk's office), but the marriage isn't legally ended. Either spouse can later convert the case into a full divorce (Cal. Fam. Code § 2321).
