Online Divorce Lawyer Saves You From the 3 Following Problems Facing Uncontested Divorce Consumers in California

Avoid Unlicensed, Fraudulent, Out-of-State Online Divorce Mills

These have $139-$299 "complete" fees, but check their Terms of Use. Those fees are for the first 30 days only. They hit your credit card every month. They also up-sell $199 "premium" packages. They are clueless about California law and rules of court. You do not want to hire an outfit that gets paid more if they make your divorce go slower. Many located in Ukraine, India or Mexico.

Avoid Super Expensive Hot-Shot Non Lawyers Fronted by Hollywood Lawyers

These are Hello Divorce, divorce.com and AIDivorce.legal. They have $275-$400 teaser packages to get you in the door, but those packages are just for one part of the divorce or they do not include any client support or document review. The teaser packages just begin the aggressive up-selling to their $1500 - $4500 packages. Remember that these are not lawyers!

Avoid Traditional Caifornia Divorce Lawyers

These are your grandparents' divorce lawyers. They don't have online divorce. All they have is $5000-$7500++ retainer fees plus a $300-$450 per hour treadmill after they burn through your retainer. You do not need full representation in an uncontested divorce, but they won't tell you that! All they've got is one-size-fits-all full-representation.

Compare Your Cheap Divorce Lawyer Options in California

Spoiler Alert: There’s only one cheap divorce lawyer option in California! And you’re looking at it!!

Online Divorce = Cheap California Divorce

Online divorce is always a wise choice for an uncontested divorce where:

the parties are in agreement,
there is not a large marital estate,
there are no complex legal issues and
there is no domestic violence or the threat of domestic violence.

Avoid Unlicensed Online Divorce Mills

The whole point of online divorce is to keep your cost and stress down. If you pay $1100-$4500 to a non-lawyer online divorce mill, that’s NOT a cheap California divorce.

Then, if you end up paying for their mistakes forever, because they don’t know California law or the policies of your local court, that’s not a low stress divorce.

Avoid Traditional Divorce Lawyer Churners

Traditional California divorce lawyers want to charge you a $5000-$7500+ retainer fee. Then they will burn through that retainer as fast as possible to get you onto the $300-$450 billable hour treadmill.

That’s because they don’t know what else to do. Churning through client money is the only thing traditional divorce lawyers have ever done. They have nothing else to offer you.

These are your grandparents’ divorce lawyers. They have not been among the very few competitive California divorce lawyers who have adopted online divorce.

With traditional divorce lawyers, if it’s a choice between their income and your financial interests, guess which one loses. Traditional lawyers will trick you into hiring them by scaring the crap out of you on some issue that MIGHT happen in your case, but almost certainly won’t.

Then, when they’ve got your retainer fee, you have to disclose your assets and debts to them as part of the California divorce disclosure process. So they know EXACTLY what cash and assets you’ve got as well as your credit card balances.

All they need to do from that point is churn. Requests for Orders, Discovery Requests, Discovery Responses, Hearings, Interrogatories, Postponements, Trial Briefs, etc., etc. until your cash and assets are gone.

If your spouse has a lawyer too, the 2 lawyers will do their dance until neither one of you has cash or credit left. Then they’ll both recommend that you settle your case. And then they’ll tell you what a great job they did.

Don’t fall for this nonsense. There are times when you will need such lawyers (and if your simple uncontested blows up, you will need such lawyers), but not in a simple uncontested California divorce. Keep it a cheap divorce.

Avoid unnecessary and dishonest lawyer churners. Know your cost up front.
