Built for Agreement-Based Matters

This service is designed for spouses who are already in general agreement and want structured help with drafting, review, filing coordination, and the paperwork required to reach final judgment.

Why Clients Choose Simplified Separation

A narrow practice focus can make a real difference in how smoothly your matter moves. Simplified Separation is built specifically for uncontested divorce and judgment drafting work, which allows for a more structured and efficient client experience.

Focused on Agreement-Based Divorce

This practice is limited to uncontested and agreement-based matters. That focus allows for a process built around drafting, accuracy, and follow-through rather than litigation strategy.

Less Risk of Being Bumped Aside

Your matter is not competing with trial preparation, emergency hearings, or contested motion practice in unrelated cases. That narrower scope supports a more reachable and attentive experience.

A Flat-Fee Service

We offer flat-fee pricing on our legal services due to our ability to structure the process. Normally, family matters must be billed on an hourly basis in California, however due to our narrow focus, we can ensure a fixed cost for you.

Is This a Good Fit?

This service is designed for couples who want help preparing and moving agreed divorce paperwork forward. It is not intended for active litigation or major unresolved disputes.

This May Be a Good Fit If

  • You and your spouse already agree on the major terms
  • You want help with drafting, paperwork, and filing
  • You want a more structured, lower-conflict process
  • You are looking for support for an uncontested California divorce
  • You are comfortable handling most of the process through Zoom

This May Not Be the Right Fit If

  • You need an attorney for contested hearings or courtroom litigation
  • Major issues are still unresolved between spouses
  • The case requires urgent contested motions
  • One or both parties are not in a position to participate in an agreement-based process
