We meet you where you are
Wherever you are in your divorce, start here.
Nobody plans to be here. Most people find us late at night, holding a question they can't say out loud. Whichever sentence below is yours — that's exactly where we'll start.
I just got served divorce papers.
Breathe — almost everyone remembers this moment as scarier than it turned out to be. In California there is generally a 30-day window to respond, and preparing responses (the FL-120) is something we do every day. Most people finish theirs in under an hour, with their side of the story ready for the court.
My ex won't agree on custody or child support.
When parents can't agree, the paperwork is where your voice lives. We handle even the most complicated custody, child support, and spousal support requests — and we help you lay out, clearly and calmly, what you're asking the judge for and why it's in your children's best interest.
We both agree. We just want it done kindly.
Amicable divorces are the ones we love most — no fighting, just paperwork to finish. We prepare the full set of forms California expects for an uncontested divorce, and many couples sit down together and get through them in one evening.
It's been on my list for months. I can't face the forms.
That's the most common story we hear — court forms are built to confuse, and putting them off is what most people do. Here, you answer plain questions about your life and we turn them into court-ready paperwork; for most people that takes about an hour. And since California's waiting period generally runs from the day of filing, finishing sooner means it's behind you sooner.
You've carried this long enough. Hand us the paperwork.
Answer plain questions about your life — we turn them into court-ready forms. Nothing is filed until you say so, it's free to start, and every form carries our 100% court-acceptance guarantee.
Our promise
Three things we will never let you feel.
Divorce is heavy enough without a maze of paperwork, strangers in suits, and a meter running on every tear. We built something kinder.

Not buried.
No forms to decode, no law to learn. You just answer plain questions about your kids, your ex, and what you want — the ones top divorce attorneys helped us write. We turn your answers into paperwork more accurate than most lawyers file.

Not lost.
No legalese. No forty-page PDFs. Just the right form, the right answer, and the right next step — spoken in the language you actually speak.

Why we exist
Spend it on your kids,
not on lawyers.
We built Legalfina because you shouldn't have to spend $4,000 on a lawyer to fill out a form. Attorneys are worth every dollar for the hard stuff — standing up for you in court, fighting a truly contested case. But filing your initial divorce, custody, or restraining-order paperwork isn't that. It's the same court-accepted result, without the bill.

Questions, honestly answered
The things people whisper
at 2 a.m.
If yours isn't here, write us. A human will answer, usually the same day.
How does this work?
We ask you simple uncomplicated questions about your situation and then fill out all your forms. We can even help you file it with the court or submit it electronically on your behalf.
Do you support divorces with children?
Yes, absolutely. We even support child support, custody of pets, requesting attorney's fees, and even asking that your ex doesn't take the children out of the county/state/country!
Will this have any negative impact on my divorce or custody dispute?
Our website helps you accurately fill out your forms -- better than you could fill it out yourself. However, the portions where you write statements and declarations to the court, we highly recommend you have an attorney review what you wrote. An attorney would know best what you should or should not say and the best way to say something that will win over a judge. We offer affordable add-ons where you can hire an attorney to edit what you wrote to have the best impact on the Judge or mediator that is reading it. It will still come out significantly less expensive than visiting an attorney and having them fill out the forms for you and write your requests from scratch.
Is Legalfina a law firm?
No — and that's on purpose. We're a licensed and bonded Legal Document Assistant service. We prepare your paperwork; every step of our wizard is reviewed and approved by attorneys licensed in your state. If you'd like one-on-one legal advice, you can add an attorney consultation anytime.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. You can fill out your forms for free, and only pay once you're ready to download or file. No subscriptions (unless you are on a payment plan). No surprise charges. Just one clear, upfront cost. Keep in mind though that the courts charge a separate filing fee, but if you can't afford that we help you fill out the paperwork to waive those fees.
What if my spouse won't agree?
That is exactly where we come to help. We help you fill out the necessary court forms to get the judge to make a decision based on the information provided, even if your spouse won't agree.
How long does a divorce actually take?
Most states have a six-month waiting period. The sooner you file your paperwork, the sooner that clock starts, and the sooner you can reach a final resolution.
What if I can't afford this?
We offer flexible payment options and we also help you fill out fee waivers with the court so you don't have to pay the filing fees.
Can I still change my mind?
At any point, for any reason, free of charge. You're never locked into a filing until you're the one who presses "file."
What if I have a complicated situation?
Our wizards handle most complicated requests. You can request an attorney to review your paperwork once you are finished, who can polish and refine it to ensure what you are requesting is being properly conveyed to the judge.
