If you are a resident of California and are in the process of divorcing, you have several options available to help facilitate the process. You can hire an attorney, or you can work through the process as a pro se plaintiff, working independent of an attorney. If you decide to work through the process pro se, you will need to locate and complete the required California divorce forms. Most family courts provide the basic forms on their website for download. Be sure to check there first. In the event that you cannot locate them, call to speak with one of the family court representatives. Most California divorce forms are easy to fill out. But, most divorce experts recommend that you have an attorney at least review these forms prior to submitting them to the court to ensure that there are not any mistakes made.
