Is it hard to do your own divorce in California?

Question Detail

My husband and I were only married about 2 years, and we do not have kids. We have a joint checking account, and he has a separate retirement fund through work. We have a house together, and our cars are in our own names.

Answer

All of the forms required for a divorce proceeding can be found online and in a courthouse, including instructions on how to complete the forms. There are also family law facilitator offices that can provide legal assistance to you at no charge. Because of various procedural rules, having an experienced family law attorney would ensure a swift resolution of your divorce. Mistakes can significantly delay the process.
