I help Santa Clarita residents do this every day. The process is fast, efficient, and completely remote, which means you can move forward without missing work or dealing with long court delays.
Does Los Angeles County allow full online divorce filing?
Yes. Los Angeles County courts allow full online divorce filing. That includes preparing documents, e-filing, serving the other party, and finalizing the agreement so a judgment is entered — all remotely when the case is eligible. If your case is amicable and the parties agree on the key issues, the entire process can be completed without any in-person court appearances.
How the online divorce process works
- Prepare the paperworkWe gather the required forms for a California dissolution of marriage and any supporting disclosures. Accurate paperwork is essential to avoid delays.
- E-file with the courtThe documents are submitted electronically to the Los Angeles County court. E-filing speeds up processing and keeps everything digital and trackable.
- Serve the other partyService of process can also be handled remotely by an approved server or process service method. Proper service is required before the court will finalize a default or uncontested judgment.
- Exchange disclosures and finalize agreementsBoth parties exchange required financial disclosures, negotiate if needed, and sign a marital settlement agreement. Digital signing options are often available for agreeable couples.
- Submit final documents for judgmentOnce the agreement and disclosures are complete, we prepare the judgment paperwork and e-file the packet for court approval. The court will review and, if everything is in order, enter the final judgment.
What to expect in terms of timing
Timing varies depending on how quickly disclosures are exchanged and whether the other party cooperates. For uncontested cases where both parties sign the agreement promptly, you can often reach final judgment without missing work or attending court. For contested matters, online filing may still be possible for certain steps, but additional court appearances or hearings may be necessary.
