How to Get a Cheap Divorce in San Diego Without Sacrificing Quality
Hi, I’m Tim Blankenship from Divorce661. If you’re thinking about getting divorced in San Diego County but worried about the cost, you’re not alone. Many people assume a low-cost divorce means poor service or endless frustration. I’m here to show you a smarter path: how to keep costs down while getting professional, accurate, and timely results.
Why a DIY Divorce Often Backfires
Doing it yourself can seem like the cheapest route, but courts in San Diego require electronic filing and strict document standards. Small mistakes — a missing signature, incorrect formatting, or a filing error — can lead to rejections and long delays.
People who attempt a DIY divorce frequently end up hiring someone later to fix the mistakes, which drives the total cost higher than if they had used a professional service from the beginning.
San Diego’s E-Filing System Adds Complexity
Electronic filing (e-filing) is convenient when everything’s done correctly, but it’s less forgiving of errors than paper filings used to be. The court will often reject filings for minor technical issues. That means more time, more frustration, and sometimes more money.
To avoid hassles, you need either deep familiarity with the e-filing rules or a service that files accurately the first time.
The Smarter Alternative: Flat-Fee Divorce Services
A flat-fee service is a great middle ground between DIY and hiring a high-cost attorney. With a flat fee you know the cost up front — no billable hours, no surprise charges, and no hidden fees.
At Divorce661 we specialize in amicable (uncontested) divorces and handle everything end-to-end so you don’t have to worry about court procedures or paperwork rejections.
What a Quality Flat-Fee Service Should Provide
- Accurate preparation of all required documents
- Proper service of documents
- Guidance and preparation for financial disclosures
- A clear marital settlement agreement tailored to your situation
- Final judgment submission and follow-through with the court
Real Example: Faster and Cheaper Than a Law Firm
Here’s a real case that illustrates the value of the right service: A couple was quoted $4,000 by a law firm just to process their uncontested divorce. We handled their case for a fraction of that price, completed the judgment paperwork in one week, and had it approved by the court without a single rejection.
That’s the benefit of focusing only on what’s necessary and doing it right the first time.

- Focus on amicable, uncontested cases where streamlined processes work best.
- Deliver flat-fee pricing so clients know the total cost up front.

- People who want to avoid court appearances and lengthy negotiations
