How it works

Three steps. Clear paperwork support.

Amie turns court paperwork into a guided, step-by-step conversation.

1
Step 1

Answer simple questions

Amie asks for the information needed to prepare your paperwork, such as your name, marriage date, separation date, and basic agreement terms. Most users can start in minutes; timing varies by situation.

2
Step 2

Review your prepared package

Amie prepares a standard California divorce form package based on your answers and checks for missing required fields before delivery. Some courts may require additional local forms.

3
Step 3

Download and file

Download your package for review. Filing fees are paid separately to your court. Confirm local requirements with your court clerk, court self-help center, or a licensed attorney.

Amie can provide general information about later paperwork stages, including service, response periods, and final forms. Amie does not give legal advice or represent you.

The real process

A California divorce is 12+ forms, strict deadlines, and a 6-month wait.

This is the full road most people walk alone — every official form, court action, and waiting period, in the order they actually happen. Amie walks it with you and prepares the whole package from a few questions.

On your own

12+ official forms, filed in a precise order, with strict deadlines and a 6-month minimum wait. One wrong field and the court bounces it back — weeks lost.

With Amie

Answer a few plain-language questions on your phone. Amie prepares every form, in the right order, checked for missing fields — in minutes, not weekends.

  1. 1

    Open your case

    Initial filing documents that start the divorce.

    FL-100Initial filing

    Petition — Dissolution of Marriage

    The document that officially opens your divorce case with the court.

    FL-110Initial filing

    Summons (Family Law)

    Legal notice to your spouse, with automatic restraining orders attached.

    FAM-020Local

    Family Law Case Cover Sheet

    County-specific cover sheet required to file in many courts, including Los Angeles.

    Varies by county

    File the packet with the court

    You do this · 1–2 days

    Submit in person or by e-file and pay the filing fee (about $435–$450; a waiver is available if money is tight).

    Court assigns your case number

    Every later form has to reference it correctly — get it wrong and the clerk sends them back.

  2. 2

    Notify your spouse & exchange finances

    Service and financial-disclosure documents.

    FL-115Service

    Proof of Service of Summons

    Confirms to the court that your spouse was properly served the papers.

    FL-140Financial

    Declaration of Disclosure

    The cover sheet for the financial disclosures you and your spouse must exchange.

    FL-142Financial

    Schedule of Assets and Debts

    A complete, itemized listing of everything you own and everything you owe.

    FL-150Financial

    Income and Expense Declaration

    Dozens of line items

    Have your spouse served

    You arrange this

    A third party — not you — must hand-deliver the papers, then sign off on it.

    Enter the date of service

    Strict deadline

    This is what starts your spouse’s 30-day response clock.

    File the Proof of Service

    Without it on file, the case can’t move forward.

    30-day response window

    Waiting period

    Your spouse can respond, agree to the terms, or do nothing.

  3. 3

    Move the case forward

    Default / uncontested documents.

    FL-141Financial

    Declaration Regarding Service of Disclosure

    Proves to the court that you exchanged the required financial disclosures.

    Easy to forget
    FL-165Default

    Request to Enter Default

    Moves your case forward when your spouse doesn’t respond in time.

    6-month waiting period

    Required by law

    California law won’t finalize any divorce sooner — a minimum of 6 months from the date your spouse was served.

  4. 4

    Finalize the divorce

    Final judgment documents.

    FL-170Finalization

    Declaration for Default or Uncontested Dissolution

    Summarizes all of the divorce terms in one place for the judge to review.

    FL-180Finalization

    Judgment

    The final decree — the document that legally ends the marriage.

    FL-190Finalization

    Notice of Entry of Judgment

    Official notice to both parties that the divorce is now final.

    Submit the final judgment packet

    Highest-stakes step

    The judge reviews everything together — a single error sends the whole packet back to the start.

  5. Or skip the whole maze. Amie does it in minutes.

    Every form above, prepared from a few questions in a chat — in the right order, checked for missing fields, and delivered ready for you to review and file. No legal PDFs, no guesswork, right from your phone.

Is Amie the right fit for your divorce?

Amie handles standard, uncontested California cases. Here's how to tell whether that's you.

Amie may be a fit if:

  • You are filing in California.
  • You and your spouse agree on the major terms.
  • You are comfortable representing yourself.
  • You want paperwork support, not legal advice.
  • You understand that court filing fees are paid separately.

Amie may not be a fit if:

  • You disagree about custody, support, property, or debt.
  • There is domestic violence, coercion, or a safety concern.
  • One spouse cannot be located or served.
  • You have complex assets, a business, pensions, major debt, or major tax questions.
  • You need legal strategy, representation, or advice about your rights.

If any of these apply, consider contacting your court self-help center, legal aid, or a licensed family-law attorney.

These are official California Judicial Council forms. Amie prepares a standard package from your answers and checks for missing required fields before delivery. Court requirements vary, and some courts may require additional local forms. Amie is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
