Uncontested Divorce in California

When you and your spouse agree, divorce doesn't need a courtroom battle or a five-figure legal bill. SimpleDivorce prepares your state-specific forms, coordinates signatures, and files your case with the court — court filing is included, and we can serve your spouse when needed. In California, 6 months minimum by statute; the paperwork is usually completed far sooner while the clock runs.
