Divorce Centers of California

Divorce Centers of California is a self-help divorce filing service that prepares and files the paperwork for uncontested divorces in California. Staff complete the forms and file them with the court, while the client makes the decisions. The company has been operating since 1972 and describes itself as the state's first service of this kind.

The service is not a law firm, and staff say they do not give legal advice. Same-day appointments and expedited divorce service are available. The company works in several Bay Area and central coast counties, including Santa Clara, Alameda, San Mateo and San Francisco. Its San Jose office is on Lincoln Avenue, and clients can call for fee information, and ask about fee waivers for those who qualify as low income.
