CM2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Hey folks I live in NOCAL and I wanted to know from any California residence or from anyone who knows but how much is it to file for a divorce in California. I also want to know the steps that needs to be taken in order for me to file. Any info will be helpful, thank you!!
westernxer Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 You need to ask a lawyer. Here's a good place to start... http://oc-divorce.typepad.com/california_divorce_and_fa/2007/01/why_does_divorc.html
sadintexas Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 If you're planning on doing the divorce yourself, contact your county court clerk. They can give you the info on costs and also may be able to provide you with the forms you will need. If not, you should be able to find the forms you need online. If you're wanting to hire an attorney, each attorney will have his own rate per hour, plus the retainer you will have to put down to get started. Some will accept payments, others make you pay when the bill is due. Shop around until you find someone you're comfortable with, whose billing practice meets your needs.
