Services & Fees

At Divorce Preparation Services our fees are based on whether there are minor children or no minor children involved in the divorce. Our flat fee for no minor children is $600.00 and our flat fee for parties with minor children is $650.00. Both of these fees are in addition to the Courts filing fees + e-filing fees. The court filing fees in California for divorce (dissolution of marriage) are set by the county in which you file in and is currently $435.00 + e-filing fees in Orange County and Los Angeles county. It is the same in most counties except Riverside county (based on where you or the other party reside). Every year the court filing fees can change depending on the county. Our services and fee also includes a Phone Consultation appointment at which time we will prepare the initial documents for your signature.
