Support Paperwork Can Be Complicated. Let Us Help Prepare It.

Child and spousal support document preparation in California can involve court forms, income and expense information, declarations, and filing and service steps.

Support matters are often connected to a divorce, legal separation, paternity, or custody case, which can make the paperwork harder to keep organized.

LegalDoc-Prep helps self-represented individuals prepare and organize requested support documents. You provide the financial and case information, and we prepare the paperwork at your specific direction.

Professional Help With Support Documents

Support paperwork involves detailed financial information that has to be consistent across every document. We make sure the information you provide is carried accurately throughout, so your filing is not delayed by avoidable corrections.

Whether you are asking for child support, spousal support or both, we turn the financial and family information you give us into organized, court-ready documents delivered to you ready to sign.

Money matters are stressful. Our job is to take the paperwork off your plate so you can focus on your family.

What LegalDoc-Prep Does Not Do

LegalDoc-Prep is a registered and bonded Legal Document Assistant, not a law firm. We prepare support documents at your direction and do not provide legal advice, financial advice, legal representation or court appearances.

• We do not calculate child or spousal support or estimate what the court may order.
• We do not advise what amount, duration, or type of support a person should request.
• We do not decide whether a change in circumstances qualifies for a modification.
• We cannot guarantee any result. The judge decides whether support will be ordered and in what amount.

If the Support Matter Is Contested or Legally Complicated

If the other party disagrees about support, we can still prepare the documents you request, but we cannot negotiate for you, recommend an amount, or advise anyone about their legal rights.

A client should consult a licensed California attorney if:

• The other party objects or the case is contested
• Income is self-employment, business, or otherwise hard to determine
• There are unpaid support arrears or enforcement issues
• The local child support agency (DCSS) is involved in the case
• There are questions about how long spousal support should last
• The client needs advice about legal rights
