California Divorce Forms and Court Resources
Check the current court packet and see what may be needed for your uncontested case.
DivorceReady prepares self-help documents; it does not file them or provide legal advice. Court and third-party fees are separate.
Start with the court's current forms
The forms needed for a California divorce depend on whether children, property, support, or a response are involved. Use the official court links below to check the current packet and any local add-ons before filing.
What DivorceReady helps prepare
For eligible uncontested cases, DivorceReady uses your answers to prepare a state-specific document packet and filing checklist. Review every name, date, agreement term, and form against the filing court's requirements before signing or submitting anything.
Documents to check with the court
- Starting petition or complaint and any required cover sheet.
- Summons, service, waiver, or acknowledgment documents.
- Property, support, or parenting forms when applicable.
- Proposed final order and local filing checklist.
Availability of a form on a court website does not mean it fits every case or that a prepared packet is preapproved by the court.
