Resolving conflicts without court since 1993

Considering Divorce?

You don’t have to have a long, drawn-out, exhausting, malicious, horrible-awful divorce! You have choices! And you can choose to divorce with respect and dignity, in the best interests of your children of whatever age. The secret is in your first choice: the process you and your partner will use.

Here are the four ways to get divorced in California:

  1. Do It Yourself (download the forms and negotiate over the kitchen table).
  2. Traditional Representation (hire two lawyers and battle it out).
  3. Mediation (have one neutral professional help you to negotiate and fill out the paperwork).
  4. Collaborative Practice (create a team of professionals to give you and your partner the support you need to stay out of court).
