Select the service that best fits your situation. If you need more than one service, choose the most important one now and describe the rest in the notes section below.

Divorce & Legal Separation

All divorce services also cover Legal Separation — the process is similar. If you are seeking a legal separation rather than a divorce, please note that in the comments section below.

True Default — Divorce or Legal Separation

From $850

One spouse files. The other spouse is not participating — absent, unreachable, or not responding to the case.

Is this me? Your spouse won't participate, hasn't responded, or cannot be located. You need to move forward on your own without their involvement.

Summary Dissolution

From $650

A simplified divorce for qualifying couples only. Both spouses agree and participate. Requires: married under 5 years, no children together, no real property, limited assets and debt, both waive spousal support.

Is this me? You and your spouse both agree, were married less than 5 years, have no children together, own no real estate, and have very limited property and debt. Not sure if you qualify? Call or text JoHanna first.

Divorce — With Written Agreement

From $1,850

Both spouses agree on everything and want a full written Marital Settlement Agreement covering property, debts, support, and/or parenting terms. Filed as a joint petition or through the standard process, depending on your situation.

Is this me? You and your spouse agree on how to divide everything and want to file together. You need a written agreement drafted as part of your divorce. This is the most common service for agreed divorces.

Divorce — Detailed Written Agreement

From $2,150

Same as above but involves more complex agreement drafting — detailed parenting schedules, real property, retirement accounts, significant assets or debts, or multiple agreement provisions.

Is this me? You and your spouse agree but your situation is more complex — a home to divide, retirement accounts, detailed custody arrangements, or a longer agreement with many provisions.

Divorce Response

From $850

Your spouse already filed for divorce and you need to prepare and file a formal response with the court.

Is this me? You received divorce paperwork from your spouse. You have a deadline to respond — typically 30 days from the date you were served. Time-sensitive — please reach out promptly.

Custody, Support & Family Orders

Custody & Parenting Plan — Agreed

From $500

For establishing a new custody arrangement or modifying an existing one — when both parents are in agreement.

Is this me? You and the other parent agree on custody and parenting and need it put into a court-ready document for the first time, or you both agree to change an existing arrangement. If the other parent does not agree, see Request for Order below.

Child Support — Agreed

From $450

For establishing child support for the first time or modifying an existing child support order — when both parties agree.

Is this me? You need child support set up for the first time, or you and the other parent both agree to change the existing support amount. If the other party does not agree, see Request for Order below.

Spousal Support — Agreed

From $450

For establishing, modifying, or terminating spousal support — when both parties agree.

Is this me? You need spousal support established, changed, or ended and both parties are in agreement. If the other party does not agree, see Request for Order below.

Request for Order (RFO)

From $650

For asking the court to issue, modify, or enforce a family law order. A court hearing will be scheduled. Can be used for custody, support, enforcement, temporary orders, relocation, and more.

Is this me? The other party won't agree — OR — an existing order isn't being followed — OR — you need temporary orders during a pending case — OR — something new came up not in your original order. Not sure? Call or text JoHanna before selecting.

Changing an Existing Court Order — Agreed

From $250

For simple agreed changes, clarifications, or corrections to a family law court order already in place. Both parties must agree and sign.

Is this me? You already have a court order and both parties agree to make a minor change or correction to it. For major changes or if parties don't agree, see Request for Order above.

Name Change

Adult Name Change

From $450

For legally changing your name through the California court process. Includes petition preparation, publication coordination, and order after hearing.

Is this me? You are an adult who wants to legally change your name for any reason outside of a divorce proceeding.

Minor Name Change

From $650

For changing a child's name through the California court process. Includes required publication, notice to the other parent, and order after hearing.

Is this me? You want to change your child's name through the court. This process requires additional steps including notifying the other parent, who may have the right to object.

Existing Cases & Document Review

Existing Case or Document Review

$150

For reviewing existing paperwork, court filings, or a case already in progress. Applied toward your document preparation services if you move forward with NewLeaf.

Is this me? Someone started your paperwork — or you have documents you'd like reviewed — and you want JoHanna to take a look and assess the situation before deciding on next steps. No further commitment required.

Already Started Your Case? (Takeover)

$150 review

For a case someone else started — whether it needs finishing, corrections, or a full rebuild. It begins with a $150 file review (credited toward your work), then one flat quote for exactly what your case needs. No hourly billing.

Is this me? Your paperwork was started elsewhere, has errors, was rejected by the court, or just needs to be finished. JoHanna reviews the file first, then gives you one flat price.

Additional Options

After-Hours / Priority Appointment

$150 flat fee

For scheduling outside of standard business hours when your timeline requires priority access.

Is this me? You need to move quickly or can only meet outside normal business hours. This add-on gets you priority scheduling with JoHanna.

⚖️ Court filing fees are not included in the above pricing and are paid directly to the Superior Court — not to NewLeaf. New case filing fee: $435. Modification filing fee: $60.
