The smart solution to separation

Divorce without the cost of an attorney

Divorce should not cost you everything.

DivvyLaw is a self-guided divorce platform built by California family law attorneys. You get the forms, the deadlines and the step-by-step instruction a lawyer would give you, without the retainer, the hourly meter, or the loss of control over your own case. It works whether your divorce is uncontested or contested.

Two paths

Which kind of divorce are you having?

The answer changes the forms, the timeline and the price. If you are not sure, the questionnaire sorts it for you in about five minutes.

Uncontested Divorce
Both of you agree

Uncontested Divorce

$349 flat

When you and your spouse agree on everything including: property, support, and any parenting arrangement, the case is paperwork and deadlines — not argument. DivvyLaw walks you through the petition, service, both sets of financial disclosures, and the judgment packet in the order the court expects them, so nothing comes back rejected.

  • Every form the clerk requires, in filing order
  • Video walkthroughs for each step
  • One flat price, start to judgment

Contested Divorce
You do not agree

Contested Divorce

From $499, capped at $3,499

Most self-help tools stop the moment a case becomes contested. DivvyLaw does not. Temporary orders, discovery, trial preparation, and trial each have their own guided module, and you buy only the ones your case actually reaches. Your total is capped no matter how far it goes.

  • Request for Order and responsive filings
  • Propounding and responding to discovery
  • Trial prep: disclosures, briefs, exhibits, subpoenas

How it works

The DivvyLaw process

Five stages, in the order the court works through them.

See if you qualify

Confirm your county and residency. DivvyLaw currently serves filings in Orange County and Los Angeles County, and California requires six months in the state and three months in the county before you can file.

Uncontested or contested

A short questionnaire sorts your case. It matters: an uncontested case is a paperwork sequence, and a contested one has hearings, discovery, and deadlines that carry real money.

Work the guided questionnaire

Answer in plain language and the platform fills the Judicial Council forms behind the scenes. Short videos show you what each form does and what the clerk looks for.

File or respond

Whether you are opening the case or answering a petition already served on you, DivvyLaw covers both sides. Response deadlines are counted for you, not left to you.

Follow it through to judgment

Disclosures, temporary orders, discovery, settlement conference, trial. Each stage unlocks when you reach it, so you are never reading about a hearing you do not have.

What people say

I had already spent $6,000 on a retainer before I found DivvyLaw. The platform told me, in order, exactly what my case still needed. I finished it myself.
