Have you ever tried to file for divorce on your own or file for child custody in California alone and found the process extremely frustrating? If so, you are not alone! First of all, there are several forms to fill out. Thus, just figuring out what forms you need can give you a headache. Then, if you are able to fill out what forms you need, you still need to fill them out properly.

If you can eventually get the proper forms filled out, then what do you do? Well, you still need to: have the forms properly filed and served; make sure that your filing fee is taken care of and that you get a mediation date set up; have the court give you a hearing date; go to that hearing date and be able to successfully stand up to the opposing side and argue your case; and be able to draft and submit an order after hearing or final judgment.

This entire process of filing for divorce in Southern California can be extremely difficult to finish, as it sounds exhausting just thinking about it. For this reason, many who begin this process on their own, without an attorney, are not able to get past the first stage of finding out what forms they need to start, let alone complete the process.
