Divorce Judgment Builder (Default or Uncontested with Written Agreement)
A divorce judgment is the court's final, legally binding order that officially ends your marriage and establishes all final terms — including property division, support, and custody if applicable. This package is designed for cases that are either proceeding by default (the other party did not respond) or are uncontested with a written agreement between both parties. It helps you prepare the final paperwork needed to submit your judgment to the court.
This package covers Stage 3 of the divorce process.

Is this package right for you?
This may be a good fit if:
- You are legally married (not in a domestic partnership)
- Your divorce petition has already been filed and a case number has been assigned
- Your case will proceed as uncontested or by default with a written agreement — not as contested litigation
- Neither of you is currently represented by an attorney
- Both of you are aware of and willing to cooperate with the UDIL process
- You don't currently need temporary court orders
- You understand that California law requires a mandatory 6-month waiting period before a divorce can be finalized
- You understand that court filing fees and QDRO (retirement account division) preparation are not included
This may not be the right fit if:
- Note: While dissolutions of domestic partnerships use similar forms and processes to divorces, our software is currently built to accommodate marriage dissolutions only.
- Your petition has not been filed yet — consider Package 6 (complete divorce) or Package 7 (petition only) first
- Either spouse is represented by an attorney
- Your case involves active disputed issues headed to litigation
- Your case involves minor children — you are responsible for confirming your county's specific local requirements
Financial disclosures first. California courts generally require that both spouses exchange their preliminary financial disclosures before a judgment can be entered. If you haven't done that yet, we recommend completing your disclosures first.
Our Financial Disclosures package (Package 8) can help. You can still proceed with this package, but you'll be prompted to confirm that disclosures have been or will be exchanged before submitting your judgment.
