California LDA
Notice to Consumer
You deserve to know who is helping with your paperwork and what that help includes. This page explains California’s Notice to Consumer, our role as a Legal Document Assistant, and how to check our registration directly with the county.
Your application includes your client enrollment. When you complete the Super Fast Divorce® or Complete Divorce™ online application, you receive your Master Services Agreement, Notice to Consumer, and LDA Contract as part of that process—not through a separate enrollment process later. You review and sign the documents in the required order and receive copies for your records. The unsigned example on this page is for reference only; nothing needs to be printed or returned from here.
Viewing the example is optional. You do not need to complete or return it.
The PDF and official-resource links on this page use Hovercode. Hovercode asks whether you want to share location before continuing. Location sharing is optional; choosing “continue without sharing location” opens the same destination. Link activity does not prove that you read, signed, or engaged Fast Divorce. Review Your Privacy Choices.
What the notice explains
California requires an LDA to explain the provider’s identity, services, nonattorney limits, and registration information at first contact. Your Notice to Consumer records whether those points were explained. California Business and Professions Code §6410.5.
The notice identifies Fast Divorce and explains that we are not an attorney or a law firm. It describes the limits of our role and provides registration details and a way to contact the county clerk.
When you receive your own notice during the application process, choose Yes, they explained or No, they did not explain, based on what actually occurred. You sign and date that notice and receive a clearly legible signed copy before any service contract is offered for signature. California does not permit an additional acknowledgment about this same notice.
The order before services begin
- First-contact explanation. We introduce our services and explain our nonattorney role and registration information.
- Your Notice to Consumer—in the application. During the application process, you receive the notice and time to read it. You choose Yes or No, sign and date it, and receive a clearly legible signed copy before a service contract is offered for signature or payment is accepted.
- LDA Contract and Master Services Agreement. Within the same online enrollment process, you review and sign your LDA Contract and Master Services Agreement after completing the Notice to Consumer step. Review your services, fees, cancellation rights, and complete terms before signing or paying.
- Document preparation. Work begins after the required contract process is complete and the fully executed contract has been delivered. Contract requirements.
These are steps within your online application and client enrollment—not a separate enrollment sent later. You can review and keep the complete applicable service terms before signing or paying. Reading this public page alone does not complete enrollment.
You represent yourself, with support for the paperwork
You make the legal decisions. We help with the paperwork. Our team works alongside you to organize the information you provide, prepare documents at your specific direction, and help you keep track of the agreed paperwork steps. You stay in control while we help move the document preparation process forward.
You can ask us about our services, the information we need, and the status of your paperwork. We are not your attorneys: we cannot advise you about your legal rights, select legal forms, or represent you in court. An attorney can advise you about your legal rights and options.
Fast Divorce has served clients since 2012. Founder Charlie Silva brings more than 20 years of divorce-related experience, including divorce mediation. Read client reviews.
Required California disclosure
I am not an attorney. I can only provide self help services at your specific direction.
Common questions
Do I need to print, complete, or sign anything on this page?
No. The unsigned example is for reference only. Your Super Fast Divorce® or Complete Divorce™ online application includes your client enrollment and provides your Notice to Consumer, LDA Contract, and Master Services Agreement. You review and sign them within that process; you do not need to print or return the public sample.
When will I receive and sign my Notice to Consumer?
Within your online application and client enrollment, after the first-contact explanation and before a service contract is offered for signature or payment is accepted. You have time to read the notice, answer Yes or No truthfully, sign and date it, and receive a clearly legible signed copy before continuing to the contract. A general website checkbox does not replace signing your Notice to Consumer.
Does signing the Notice to Consumer hire Fast Divorce?
Not by itself. The Notice to Consumer records whether the required points were explained; it is not your service contract. Your online application includes the Notice to Consumer, LDA Contract, and Master Services Agreement as distinct documents within the same client-enrollment process.
How can I check your registration directly?
Use the county contact details at the top of this page. Ask for Fast Divorce and provide the registration number shown there. The county can confirm the current registration record.
What happens if my spouse participates?
If your spouse chooses to participate, they receive their own Notice to Consumer and LDA Contract to review and sign before gaining access to the file. Your application does not automatically enroll your spouse or give them file access.
What if another language is used?
California requires the Notice to Consumer to be translated into the language principally used in an oral sales presentation or negotiation. Your translated client notice remains separate from this public English-language explanation.
