UNCONTESTED DIVORCE
Most divorce in California are uncontested. What this means is that both parties agree as to property, children and support issues. When the parties agree on the terms of the divorce with a fair and equitable agreement, the approval of the divorce is almost gaurenteed by the court and saves the parties the cost and time associated with attorneys. If the two parties cannot come to an agreement, they may ask the court to decide how to split property and deal with the custody of their children. However, as with all disputes between individuals, the courts would prefer parties come to an agreement prior to entering court.
Where the issues are not complex and the parties are cooperative, a settlement often can be directly negotiated between them. In California, forms are required to be filed and a one time filing fee is also required. The filing of such forms can be done without ever leaving ones home (through mail or even fascimile). In the Unites States as a whole, many state court systems are experiencing an increasing proportion of self-representation without of a lawyer (pro per) in divorce cases.In San Diego, for example, the number of divorce filings involving at least one self-representing litigant rose from 46% in 1992 to 77% in 2000, in Florida from 66% in 1999 to 73% in 2001. Urban courts in California report that approximately 80% of the new divorce filings are filed pro per.
