Nothing too big or small
Divorce services for every situation
Uncontested divorce
If you and your spouse already agree on key issues, an experienced attorney can help ensure your paperwork is completed correctly, your agreements are properly documented, and your divorce is finalized as smoothly as possible.
Get started
Filing for divorce
Whether you're filing for an uncontested divorce or dealing with more complex issues, an experienced divorce attorney can help you understand your options, complete the necessary paperwork, and take the next step with confidence.
Get started
Child custody & parenting time
Whether you're creating a parenting plan, negotiating custody arrangements, or dealing with a dispute, legal guidance can help you protect your relationship with your children and work toward a solution.
Get started
Spousal support
Spousal support, often called alimony, can be one of the most complex issues in a divorce. Whether you're seeking support or may be required to pay it, an experienced attorney can help you understand your rights, obligations, and the factors that may affect your case's outcome.
Get started
Divorce settlements
Many divorces are resolved through negotiated settlement agreements rather than a trial. An experienced attorney can help you evaluate proposals, negotiate key terms, and work toward a resolution that protects your interests while helping you avoid unnecessary conflict.
Get started
Contested divorce
If you and your spouse disagree on issues like custody, finances, or dividing assets, having the right legal support can make all the difference. Work with an experienced divorce attorney who can help you navigate conflict, protect your rights, and move your case forward.
Get started
Responding to divorce papers
Understanding your rights and responsibilities early can help you avoid costly mistakes and protect your interests. Work with a divorce attorney to help you evaluate your options and develop a strategy for moving forward.
Get started
Child support
Child support can have a real impact on both parents' futures. Understanding how support is calculated, what factors courts consider, and what options may be available can help you make informed decisions.
Get started
Property and asset division
Dividing property during a divorce involves more than deciding who gets what. Homes, retirement accounts, investments, businesses, and debts may all need to be considered. Legal guidance can help you understand your options and work toward a fair division of marital assets.
Get started
Post-divorce modifications
Life changes after divorce. Whether you need to modify child custody, child support, spousal support, or another court order, an attorney can help you understand your options and pursue changes that reflect your circumstances.

Your questions, answered
Los Angeles County Superior Court's Family Law Division spans roughly a dozen courthouses — from the Stanley Mosk Courthouse downtown to district courts in Chatsworth, Compton, Lancaster, Long Beach, Pasadena, Pomona, Santa Monica, Torrance/Inglewood, Van Nuys, and Whittier. Your case is generally assigned by address via the Filing Court Locator, though caseload rules can shift San Fernando Valley, East LA, and North Central cases. An attorney can confirm your venue first.
If your case involves custody or visitation disputes, Los Angeles County Superior Court requires parents to complete Our Children First — a roughly one-hour online mediation orientation — before your Family Court Services mediation. You complete it once; parents who've finished the court's in-person PACT (Parents and Children Together) program are exempt. Skipping it can delay your hearing date.
Yes, if you're represented by an attorney. Since November 15, 2021, Los Angeles Superior Court has required attorney-represented litigants to electronically file all Family Law documents through an approved e-filing service provider. Self-represented parties are exempt and may still file on paper. An attorney handling e-filing avoids delays from formatting mistakes like missing PDF bookmarks.
You can hire a private process server, or ask the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Civil Management Bureau to serve your spouse for a fee using Judicial Council Form SER-001. The Sheriff's Department has no single central office for this — route your request to the branch covering your spouse's location using the "Find Serving Office" tool, or expect delays.
Los Angeles charges the standard $435 filing fee for a divorce petition — unlike Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Francisco, it has no local courthouse-construction surcharge. A spouse's Response adds a second $435 fee, for up to $870 in court costs before attorney fees, per the Judicial Council's Statewide Civil Fee Schedule (Gov. Code §§ 70670(b), (d)). Fee waivers are available for those who qualify.
*The Attorney Match Guarantee™ applies to Marble’s matching process only and does not guarantee case outcomes, general satisfaction, or full refunds. Re-matches are subject to attorney availability and good account standing, and are limited to 3 discretion-based re-matches. If a suitable attorney is unavailable, a prorated refund based on work completed may apply.
