Is This Kit Right for You?
Not every divorce in California can be done DIY. Check below to see if you qualify for an uncontested Dissolution.
Use this kit if:
- ✓ You and your spouse agree on all issues (custody, property, support).
- ✓ One of you has lived in California for 6 months (and your county for 3 months).
- ✓ You are willing to exchange Financial Disclosures (even if you agree on debts).
- ✓ You agree on how to divide Community Property and debts.
Talk to a lawyer if:
- ✕ There is domestic violence or you fear for your safety.
- ✕ You disagree on custody dates or spousal support amounts.
- ✕ Your spouse is hiding assets or refuses to provide financial info.
- ✕ There are complex assets (business ownership, unvested stock options).

Frequently Asked Questions
“What is an uncontested divorce in California?”
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on all issues. In California, this is often handled by a Default with Agreement or an Uncontested Dissolution where you submit a written Settlement Agreement to the judge.
“How long does the process take?”
California has a mandatory 6-month waiting period from the date the Respondent is served. You cannot be single again until this period ends, but you can finish your paperwork sooner.
“Do I have to share my financial information?”
Yes. California law requires both spouses to complete a Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure (listing assets, debts, and income) even if you agree on everything. Our kit includes these mandatory forms.
“Can I use this kit for Los Angeles or San Diego?”
Yes. The FL-series forms in this kit are state-wide forms approved by the California Judicial Council and are accepted in all 58 counties.
