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
Filing here costs $435 for a divorce, legal separation, or nullity petition, per the Statewide Civil Fee Schedule (Gov. Code § 70670(b), effective January 1, 2026) — Santa Clara isn't among the three counties (Riverside, San Bernardino, San Francisco) with a local surcharge. File with the Family Law Clerk's Office at the Family Justice Center Courthouse, 201 N. First Street, San Jose.
Before scheduling your appointment, Family Court Services requires you and your co-parent to each complete the Parent Orientation video and submit intake information; FCS then mails your appointment letter. Mediation is free, but canceling or missing it within 48 hours triggers a $100 fee, and appointments are currently held remotely over Microsoft Teams.
If you're represented by an attorney, yes — Santa Clara County Superior Court requires mandatory e-filing for attorney-represented parties in family law cases, with narrow exceptions such as family-case judgments and defaults, which the court still accepts in hard copy. If you're representing yourself, e-filing isn't required, though it's available.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Civil Unit (55 West Younger Avenue, San Jose) has no listed fee for serving divorce papers — unlike evictions ($180) or wage garnishments ($45–$54) — and limits walk-in hours to Monday–Thursday, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. (closed Fridays). Most people in Santa Clara County instead use a private process server, or a friend or family member 18 or older who isn't a party to the case.
*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.
