START WITH WHAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR
The part you’re stuck on. Let’s start there.
There is no judgment here about how you got to this point. Just a clear look at the document work ahead.
RETURNED PAPERS
“The court sent my judgment back.”
How we can help
Share the return notice and the papers that came back. We review the existing record to see which corrections and remaining document work we can accept. A return is not automatically a reason to choose the higher-priced package.
Tell us where the process stopped. Accepted work may include disclosure paperwork, an agreement and judgment documents. Time alone does not finish the case; the existing record and remaining requirements matter.
An earlier disagreement does not automatically rule out our service. We can prepare accepted agreement paperwork from the terms you have decided. We do not negotiate the terms or choose the legal outcome for you.
Let us know whether a Response has been filed and which terms you have settled. Willingness to sign is a helpful starting point, but is not itself a full agreement. Each spouse must complete the participation steps required for the work.
You do not need to arrive knowing every form number. Share what has been filed or exchanged. We review the document steps within our scope and explain the information we need from you.
FL-180 is the Judgment form, not the entire judgment package. Agreements, attachments, service records or disclosure steps may also need attention. We offer package help for the remaining work we accept, not a stand-alone FL-180 service.

BEFORE YOU APPLY
Four things we need you to flag.
For a qualifying case, an introductory call is not required. These situations need attention first.
01
Amended petition?
Call before applying.
Already amended your FL-100 or FL-700? Talk with us first about whether the remaining work fits our services. We do not handle a hearing that may be needed.
A case approaching or past five years needs attention before you assume it can continue or must be refiled. Share the current court record. An attorney or court self-help center can evaluate dismissal rules and exceptions.
We work with self-represented clients. If you independently choose to end representation, the proper substitution or withdrawal must be completed and reflected in the case before acceptance. You handle that transition directly with your attorney.
Contact a California family-law attorney about the hearing and deadlines. We do not prepare for, appear at or handle hearings. An application does not change the court’s schedule.
The existing record matters. So do the unfinished steps. We bring the accepted document work together.
You choose the legal terms. We prepare the accepted paperwork. The court decides approval and timing.
FIRST, THE EXISTING RECORD
The next step starts with what is already there.
Share your court and case number, filed papers and any return notice. When courthouse access allows, we obtain the records; otherwise, we ask you for copies. Missing records can affect review.
Illustrative app screens. Actual screens may differ.
CLEAR SCOPE BEFORE WORK
Know the service. Know what it covers.
We review the remaining document work, confirm what we can accept, and set out the service scope and price. Acceptance, required agreements and payment steps come before service. Extra work needs authorization.
Illustrative app screens. Actual screens may differ.
HUMAN-REVIEWED PAPERWORK
Your facts. Your terms. Prepared with care.
We prepare accepted documents from your information and written directions. You review the drafts, request included changes, sign and complete your assigned tasks. We do not make legal decisions for you.
Illustrative app screens. Actual screens may differ.
MORE THAN A HANDOFF
The work continues after submission.
We handle covered filing and administrative follow-up. Court-requested corrections to the accepted work are part of the package. New or expanded work requires authorization. The court controls approval and timing.

Your paperwork & progress8 answers
Which service helps me finish a case I already started?
Super Fast Divorce® or Complete Divorce™, depending on the remaining document work we accept. We review your filed papers, case status and any court return notice, then confirm scope. Accepted work can include disclosures, agreed terms, judgment paperwork, filing and covered follow-up. Already Filed is not a separate package, and we do not automatically start a new case. The court decides approval and timing.
I only need FL-180. Why is a package necessary?
FL-180 is the Judgment form. It is part of the final paperwork, not the whole judgment package. Supporting forms, an agreement, attachments, service records, or disclosure steps may still need attention. Filing the first papers does not mean the court has approved the final orders. We offer package help for the accepted remaining work, not an isolated FL-180 service.
The court keeps returning my judgment papers. Can you help?
Yes, when the required work fits our services. Share the rejection notices and the papers that were returned. We can prepare or correct the accepted judgment documents and agreement at your direction. If your petition has already been amended, call before applying. Cases with an upcoming hearing are outside our intake scope. Consult a California family-law attorney about the hearing.
I need a Marital Settlement Agreement. What goes into it?
A Marital Settlement Agreement records the terms you and your spouse have decided. Depending on your case, it may address property, debts, spousal support, parenting arrangements, child support, and related responsibilities. Agreeing to divorce is different from agreeing on these terms. We prepare the accepted agreement from your written directions; we do not negotiate the terms or tell you which choices are best for you.
We already agree. Do we still need financial disclosures?
Agreement does not by itself remove disclosure duties. Required disclosures address what you own, owe, earn and spend. Tell us which steps you have completed and what proof is on file. Some documents are exchanged; others must be filed. For an FL-700 joint petition, the official instructions include filing each spouse’s FL-150 and FL-141. We prepare accepted paperwork at your direction; an attorney can advise about any exception or waiver.
My spouse is finally willing to sign. Can you take over the paperwork?
We can review the case for agreed document work. Tell us whether a Response was filed and what terms you have settled. Both spouses must participate in the information, review, and signature steps required for that work. Willingness to sign alone does not establish a complete agreement.
We filed a joint petition. Is the divorce almost finished?
An FL-700 joint petition starts the joint process; it does not finish the case. The applicable disclosures, full written agreement, judgment paperwork, and waiting period still matter. If you no longer agree or one spouse stops participating, legal guidance may be needed before further document work. Joint summary dissolution uses a different procedure, so tell us which papers you filed.
What if I do not have copies of everything filed?
When courthouse access allows, we obtain copies of the filed documents. Availability varies by court. If we cannot obtain them, we ask you to share your copies or obtain the missing records. Contact us to arrange how to share documents for a service-fit inquiry; after engagement, use your client app for requested case records. Applicable court or outside copying charges are handled under the agreement. We do not promise free or universal record access.
Whether your case fits9 answers
I filed FL-100 or FL-700 but have not amended it. Can I start online?
Yes, if the case fits the selected service and none of the other intake exceptions applies. An original petition does not guarantee acceptance; the remaining work still matters. Tell us about any Response, existing orders, rejection notices, and incomplete steps.
I already amended my petition. What should I do?
Call us before applying so we can discuss service fit. This applies to an amended FL-100 or FL-700. Amendment requirements depend on the type and status of the case; a first amendment is not automatically free of court-permission or service requirements. We do not handle a hearing that may be needed.
My case has been pending for more than five years. Do I need a new case?
Possibly, but not automatically. California has a five-year rule for bringing an action to trial. Family-law exceptions and extensions can apply, and a case does not become a completed divorce simply because time passes. Current support, custody, visitation, or qualifying restraining orders and certain prior proceedings can matter.
Contact us before applying and provide the current court record and any dismissal notice or order. If a dismissal deadline or legal exception needs evaluation, consult a California family-law attorney or court self-help center. Do not assume that the age of the case, by itself, means you must refile.
The court dismissed my old case. Can Fast Divorce help with a new filing?
If your old case has been dismissed and you decide to start a new case, you can apply for Super Fast Divorce when its requirements fit, or Complete Divorce for broader accepted work. If you want advice about challenging the dismissal or whether a new case is appropriate, consult a California family-law attorney first. A new case can involve new filing costs, service steps, and a new applicable waiting period. We do not promise that the old case’s timeline carries over.
We used to disagree, but now we agree. Are we eligible?
Past disagreement alone does not exclude you. Your current terms, existing orders, and remaining paperwork must fit the service. You must be self-represented, and there must be no upcoming hearing. If disagreements remain, those need to be addressed through appropriate legal advice or separate mediation before we prepare an agreed resolution.
My spouse never responded. Is that automatically disqualifying?
No. Some straightforward true-default cases fit Super Fast or Complete. A true default is different from a default with a signed agreement. Service, the filed record, and the requested orders matter. Missing-spouse and publication work are considered only under Complete when accepted. Confidential Divorce requires both spouses’ participation and is unavailable for a nonparticipating true default.
I previously hired an attorney. Can I work with Fast Divorce now?
We accept self-represented clients. If you choose to end the attorney’s representation, the appropriate substitution or withdrawal must be completed and reflected in the court record before we accept your case. You handle the transition, fees, and records directly with your attorney. We do not contact or negotiate with attorneys on your behalf.
Can an attorney review the documents while I represent myself?
Yes. You may independently consult a California family-law attorney about our work product, your rights, or the terms you are considering. You communicate with that attorney directly and provide us with your own written directions. Our client is the applicant, and when both spouses engage together, both are clients under the signed agreement. Independent advice does not make Fast Divorce your legal representative.
I have a hearing scheduled. Can you help me get ready?
No. Existing cases with upcoming hearings are outside our intake scope. We do not prepare for hearings, appear in court, or communicate with attorneys on your behalf. Contact a California family-law attorney about the hearing and any deadline. An application to Fast Divorce does not change the court’s schedule.
Costs & the finish line5 answers
Why do I pay the full package price if I already did some work?
The package covers the case work we accept, including understanding and addressing the existing paperwork and preparing what remains. Prior filing does not mean most of that work is complete. We charge the same package price as a new case and do not credit prior work. We do not add a separate rescue charge merely because you already filed.
Can I use a payment plan when I mainly need judgment work?
Monthly payment options are available through our office under the service agreement. Your entire account must be paid before any judgment preparation, assembly, review, quality check, finalization or submission. This includes authorized outside costs and other amounts owed. If the remaining work is mainly judgment-stage work, consider that requirement before choosing installments. For the optional Confidential Divorce upgrade, if accepted with Complete, both spouses first sign the rider in your client app. We then send a separate $995 invoice. Upgrade preparation begins after that invoice is paid.
Does Confidential Divorce hide the papers I already filed?
No. It does not make your case private, confidential, or sealed or remove existing court records. It is an optional Complete Divorce document-preparation upgrade. The additional agreement work requires both spouses’ participation, your written directions, and our acceptance of the scope. Court filing and disclosure requirements continue to apply.
It has been six months. Am I already divorced?
Elapsed time alone is not proof that your divorce is final. Required court approval and the date your marital status ends still matter. Check your filed judgment and Notice of Entry of Judgment. A judgment can specify a future marriage-end date. The waiting-period trigger also differs between an ordinary petition and an FL-700 joint petition.
Can you guarantee the court will accept the judgment or finish by a date?
No. We handle the accepted document and administrative work. The court controls its review, required corrections, approval, and timing. Your information, signatures, payment status, and remaining case requirements also affect progress.
