California Divorce Forms | Santa Clarita Divorce

Did you know that the California divorce forms are completely free?  If you do any search for free California divorce forms, you can eventually find the Superior Court website which has all the down-loadable divorce forms.

The problem is that the California Superior Courts sites are buried under 100’s of companies trying to sell you California divorce forms.  I suppose folks are just unfamiliar with how to do a proper search to find what they are looking for.

Because we are the Santa Clarita affordable divorce service that we are, we like to give away free things when we can.  We pay for a divorce document assembly service that allow someone to answer questions and the forms fill themselves out.  It makes it much simpler to complete the California divorce forms.

Most companies sell this service anywhere from $99 to $299 and up.  We have decided to give it away for free.

Simply go to this link https://www.clientspace.org/register.asp?firm=A2924098&purchase=437 which will take you to the page which will allow you to create a user name and password and have instant access to the divorce form assembly service.

We are doing this as a community service and to help folks in Santa Clarita.  Besides, we are paying for this service anyways, so we might as well make it available  for people to use.

Of course, we know that this is a good business decision and hopefully if folks decide to hire a divorce document preparation service down the road that they come to us for help.

The California divorce forms will help you prepare all the forms.  You will still have to comply with all the technical aspects of the divorce procedure and make sure you file and serve the forms appropriately.  This is what gives most people the most trouble.  The forms are only half the battle.

Please pass this article along to anyone who may be looking for an easy way to complete their California divorce forms.

Is Lack Of Money Preventing You From Divorce | Santa Clarita

Most people use my divorce paralegal service because of cost.  They want to save money and not pay for lawyers.  In addition, they feel that their divorce case will be uncontested and mostly amicable.  These are good fits for my service.

But despite the affordable divorce services we offer, studies show that many people stay married, although living separately, due to a lack of money which is preventing them from getting divorced.  Lack of money, that is, to get the legal assistance they need to prepare their divorce paperwork.

The study was done by Ohio State University who surveyed 7,272 people between 1979 and 2008.  Most of the people in the study who separated from their spouse reported getting a divorce within three years of separation.  The survey also revealed that 15% of people who separated did not get a divorce (and who wanted to) within the first 1o years.  The reason stated here was because it was too costly to get divorced.  Thus, they remained legally married for the sole reason of lack of money.

The survey state that people could not afford an attorney for their divorce.  Who can these days with hourly rates for divorce attorneys skyrocketing and the average billable hour being approximately $450.00 per hour.

Apparently these people who were surveyed had not heard about the affordable divorce legal services that we offer.  Legal Document Assistants such as we are, only exist in about 5 states and I am not sure if Ohio is one of them.

Californians are fortunate that Legal Document Assistants are able to work directly with the public without attorney assistance to prepare divorce paperwork.  We provide flat rates for our divorce service which makes getting a divorce a lot easier on the pocketbook.

If you are not getting divorced due the costs, please give us a call.  We can usually work out some type of payment arrangement so we can get the divorce process started for you.
