Yes — and for most uncontested divorces, it’s the smartest choice. A registered Legal Document Assistant (often called a paralegal) can prepare your complete divorce document package in California, saving you thousands compared to an attorney.
What a Paralegal/LDA Can Do for Your Divorce
- ✅ Prepare your Petition for Dissolution (FL-100)
- ✅ Prepare the Summons (FL-110)
- ✅ Complete the Response (FL-120) if your spouse participates
- ✅ Prepare all financial disclosure forms (FL-140, FL-142, FL-150)
- ✅ Draft your Marital Settlement Agreement
- ✅ Prepare the complete judgment package (FL-180, FL-190)
- ✅ Include child custody, support, and visitation forms if applicable
- ✅ Provide courthouse-specific filing instructions
- ✅ Review every document for accuracy
What a Paralegal/LDA Cannot Do
- ❌ Give you legal advice about your rights
- ❌ Tell you how to divide your property
- ❌ Recommend what custody arrangement to pursue
- ❌ Represent you at any court hearing
- ❌ Negotiate with your spouse on your behalf
The Real Question: Do You NEED Legal Advice?
For an uncontested divorce where you and your spouse agree on: – Division of property and debts – Child custody and visitation – Child support – Spousal support (or waiver)
…you probably don’t need legal advice. You need accurate paperwork.
How to Choose a Good Document Preparer
Look for: – County registration — Legitimate LDAs are registered with their county – Experience — Years of operation and volume of cases handled – Flat-rate pricing — No surprise hourly charges – Reviews — Client testimonials and ratings – Specialization — Focus on family law and court documents – Local knowledge — Familiarity with your specific courthouse
