Uncontested Divorce with Children in California
When children are involved, the paperwork grows — a parenting plan, custody terms, and a child-support worksheet. SimpleDivorce prepares all of it alongside your uncontested divorce so your agreement is complete and court-ready. In California, 6 months minimum by statute; the paperwork is usually completed far sooner while the clock runs.
