  • SUPER FAST DIVORCE®We agree. We have minor children and simple parenting terms.See how we can help

    SIMPLE, AGREED PARENTING TERMS

    Children do not automatically mean the higher-priced service.

    Tell us what you have agreed on so the team can review scope. Simple parenting terms may fit Super Fast Divorce®; more detailed schedules or requested support orders involve different document work.

    YOUR SPOUSE WILL NOT SIGN

    First, we review what has happened.

    Some qualifying default matters may fit. We review the facts and requested work, including whether your spouse is actively disputing the case. A refusal to sign is not the same as a contested case; legal strategy requires an attorney.

    A PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS APPROACH

LDA, mediator or attorney—what’s the difference?

A mediator helps people discuss unresolved terms. Mediation is separate from our document packages.

An attorney can give legal advice and represent you within the agreed engagement.

Why pay for help if the forms are free?

The forms are free. Preparing, checking, filing and following up take work. You can explore doing it yourself in our Resource Center, or hire us for the document work within your chosen service.

Explore free resources
Do you handle filing and court follow-up?

Yes. Court filing is part of our document services. We e-file where available, explain any different method the court requires, track covered filings and follow up on court responses. We do not represent you in court or guarantee approval.

What if the court asks for a correction?

Court-requested corrections to our covered document work are included without another preparation charge. New instructions, additional work or outside costs may be separate. We explain changes before proceeding.

Can I do this remotely? What if my spouse is elsewhere?

You can apply, share information, access documents and message us through your client app. No routine office visit is required. Some signatures or court steps may need another method. For accepted California cases, we coordinate standard service throughout the U.S.; outside charges may be separate.

What if I already filed or my papers were returned?

We review your existing documents and court notices before confirming the next document work and price. Already-filed cases are not automatically assigned to the more expensive package.

Does “fast” mean my marriage ends sooner?

No. Fast describes the document work we control. The court controls processing and approval, and California’s divorce waiting period still applies. Judgment entry and the date your marriage ends are not necessarily the same.

Are you a law firm?

No. Fast Divorce is a California Legal Document Assistant service. We prepare documents at your direction and provide permitted self-help support. We cannot give legal advice or represent you in court. You make the legal decisions and represent yourself.

Do you use AI with my information?

We use AI-assisted tools to help organize information and check details. Some identifying, financial or case information may be processed by AI. Our team remains responsible for human review; AI does not replace it. Read our disclosure before sharing sensitive information.

How we use AI and what to know

Client-app access and messaging on the go do not mean 24/7 live replies.

What if I cancel or need a different service?

Contact us promptly. We explain completed work, approved outside costs and how cancellation, an upgrade or a downgrade will be handled under your signed agreement and applicable law.
