INFORMATION FIRST. YOUR CHOICE NEXT.

You can learn first.
Decide on help later.

Looking for a form does not mean you need to buy a package. And hiring a document-preparation team does not mean giving up your decisions.

Use these resources to get oriented. When you want support with the paperwork, compare what our services include.

See how our team helps
A USEFUL DISTINCTION

Information. Advice.
Document preparation.

Resources help you understand general processes and find official information.

An attorney can advise you about your legal rights and choices.

A Legal Document Assistant prepares selected documents at your specific direction—not legal advice or court representation.

Get to know Fast Divorce

LOCAL COURTS. PRACTICAL INFORMATION.

Find your county court.
Know where to look next.

Open your county’s court information in our directory for official court links, contact details and local notes. These are court resources—not our advertising pages.

Browse court resources for all 58 California counties

Check the court’s official website for current hours, filing instructions and local requirements.

KNOW WHAT YOU’RE READING

Useful information.
Clear limits.

Fast Divorce’s resource pages are general educational information, not personalized legal advice. Official court forms and Fast Divorce information sheets are separate resources.

Meet founder Charlie Silva

Check the original source. Follow official links for current forms, instructions and local court information.

Check what applies to you. A guide cannot choose a filing route, agreement or legal strategy for your situation.

Know when to ask for advice. If you need help deciding your rights or terms, consult an attorney.

BEFORE YOU EXPLORE

A few questions.
Straight answers.

Explore more common questions
Are the court forms free?

You can browse our court forms library without buying a Fast Divorce service. Document preparation and support are paid services; court fees are separate. Use the linked official form and its current instructions.

Can I use these resources without becoming a client?

Yes. Explore the information, forms library and directories without applying for a paid service. You can return whenever you need a starting point.

Where do I look for court fees or a fee waiver?

Start with your county’s official court website through our family court directory. The court provides current fee information and fee-waiver instructions and decides any waiver request.

Can this information tell me what legal decisions to make?

No. These resources provide general information, not legal advice. A lawyer can advise you about your rights, choices and proposed terms. Our legal-help directory is a place to start looking.

What if I want someone to handle the paperwork?

Compare our two document-preparation services and their scope. You make your legal decisions; our team prepares documents at your specific direction within the service you select.
