How to Get a Divorce in San Bernardino County Without Drama
I’m Tim Blankenship with Divorce661. If you and your spouse are on the same page about the big issues—property division, support, and parenting—there’s a way to complete your San Bernardino County divorce quickly, affordably, and with almost no stress. In my video, I walk through the amicable path I use every day at Divorce661 to help couples finalize their divorce without court appearances or unnecessary conflict. Below is a practical guide that captures that process and what to expect.
Why an amicable divorce is the simplest path
An amicable divorce means both parties agree on the major items that the court wants resolved: who gets what property, whether either spouse will pay support, and how parenting will be handled if you have children. When those issues are resolved up front, the legal process becomes mostly paperwork and verification.
Choosing an amicable path reduces drama because it removes the need for adversarial court hearings, reduces delay, and cuts legal costs. It also puts control back in your hands—you’re deciding terms rather than letting a judge decide them for you.
The step-by-step process I use for uncontested San Bernardino divorces
- Choose the right process: Confirm that your case is truly uncontested—both spouses agree on property, support, and parenting.
- Prepare and file paperwork: We draft and file the required documents with the San Bernardino County court in the correct format so there are no surprises or rejections.
- Service of process: Your spouse must be properly served. We guide you through acceptable methods so service is legally valid.
- Financial disclosures: Both parties complete required financial disclosures so the court can confirm the agreement is fair and informed.
- Submit the final judgment: Once disclosures are complete and deadlines met, we submit the final judgment for court approval. In uncontested cases this can be approved without a court appearance.
- Finalize and record: After approval, the judgment is recorded and your divorce is final according to the terms you agreed to.
How this looks in practice
We recently helped a San Bernardino couple who had been married for 12 years. They agreed on everything but didn’t know how to handle the legal side. We took care of the entire process—from filing to final judgment—within 30 days. The court approved their paperwork with no delays, and they were able to move on peacefully. That’s the kind of outcome an organized, uncontested process can deliver.

When amicable divorce might not be appropriate
Not all divorces can or should be handled remotely or without court. If there are serious disputes about custody, domestic violence concerns, hidden assets, or complex financial issues (business valuation, large community property disputes), an uncontested flat-fee process may not be the right fit. In those situations, you’ll likely need additional legal support and possibly court intervention to protect your rights.
Quick tips to keep the process drama-free
- Be honest and complete with financial disclosures—transparency prevents later challenges.
- Put agreements in writing and review them carefully before filing.
- Use neutral language and avoid last-minute emotional negotiations once documents are filed.
- Choose a process provider who knows San Bernardino County local rules and filing requirements.
