Uncontested Divorce in Irvine California

If you’ve made the difficult personal decision to terminate your marriage or domestic partnership in California, and you are certain that you have what is almost certainly going to remain an uncontested divorce or a default divorce (where you and your spouse will not dispute any issues | 70-80% of all California divorces), here are your three existing service-provider options, as presented to you by three completely different professional niches in the divorce “industry:”

Traditional California Divorce Lawyer in Irvine

1. $7500+ for full traditional representation by a lawyer who has put the fear into you about SOMETHING that COULD happen in your case – but almost certainly won’t – and which the lawyer could have covered just as efficiently and more ethically by and through option 3 below. S/he didn’t want to do that because of the price-differential and because it’s fairly easy to scare someone who doesn’t know which end is up and is in an emotional condition to begin with. With this option, you will see that your lawyer, who knows exactly how much money and credit you have (due to the legal requirements of disclosure) will churn your case as fast as possible to get rid of that $7500 retainer in order to get you onto the $450 per hour billable treadmill. To do that you will see a flurry of hearings, postponements to be followed by more hearings and more postponements (there will always be a good reason), requests for court orders, requests for disclosures and more disclosures and a lot of what is nothing more than antagonistic and usually completely unnecessary provocation of the other party. If both parties have traditional churning divorce lawyers, they will both do this dance until neither of you has any money left. Then they will assure each of you that they have done a wonderful job for you and that you could not have obtained such a “good result” without their insightful professional care. There is no limit to the cost. You will over-spend for many services you do not need.

Unlicensed Online Divorce Mill

2. $150-$4500 for non-lawyer online divorce by a provider usually outside California (often outside the US). In the $150-300 range, the quality of knowledge and service is exceedingly low and fraud (mostly hidden fees – but much other fraud also) and incompetence are high. In the $600-$1000 range, quality and user-experience are high, up-selling is rampant and most providers are California Legal Document Assistants. Hello Divorce would be a prime example of a higher-range provider of this option. These can be thought of as feel-good service providers where everything, including the aroma-therapy, is up-sold. They rely on your already having paid them a reasonable amount of money and not wanting to walk away from what you’ve already done and paid for. Under those circumstances, it’s easy for an up-sell artist to get you to pay up. In fact, you’ll even feel good about it. But you are way over-spending. This can become as high priced as option #1, except with option #1 you at least get a lawyer.

Online Divorce Lawyer

3. $700-$1000 for unbundled (a-la-carte), almost always virtual, online divorce by a local Online Divorce Lawyer. This is often called unbundled services or limited scope representation, as opposed to full representation where the lawyer does every single possible job in your divorce. Typically, an Online Divorce Lawyer will offer an entry-level service package that will almost always be your total cost for the divorce. That basic flat-fee unbundled service will contain a strategy session with the lawyer, an online divorce interview that you complete from the comfort of your home or office and a document review by the lawyer before the case and subsequent paperwork are filed at court. Usually, you will do the actual filing at court (it’s easy – think DMV). You can buy additional strategy sessions, if they become necessary. A basic package will also typically include limited, but adequate, email and phone contact. Ethical up-selling is handled by contract at additional disclosed fees. Quality is high. This is the Best of Both Worlds option – online divorce by a California licensed local lawyer. You will almost always know your fixed cost up front. If additional services become necessary, additional flat-fee packages are offered. You will pay only for the services needed and based on the actual facts of your case and NOT on the worst case scenario, as in option #1.
