Our office is in downtown Glendale, about five miles from Burbank City Hall, and a good share of our clients come from Burbank, Magnolia Park and the Media District. Here is what a Burbank divorce actually involves.
Burbank Divorce Attorney, or Document Preparation?
Searching for a Burbank divorce attorney is a reasonable first step. But an attorney’s main job is representing you against the other side, and in an uncontested divorce there is no fight to have. What you need is the petition, the financial disclosures and the judgment package done correctly. That is what a registered Legal Document Assistant does, for a flat fee instead of a retainer.
Hire a lawyer if your spouse will not cooperate on custody or money, if one of you owns a business or has stock options or a pension to divide, or if you want advice on what is fair. We will say so on the first call.
If money is tight, we offer payment plans, and we can petition the court to see if you qualify for a waiver of the court filing fees.
Where a Burbank Divorce Is Actually Filed
Burbank has a courthouse next to City Hall at 300 E Olive Ave, and it is the first place most Burbank residents think of. It hears civil and criminal cases only. Family law moved out in the 2012 budget consolidation, and every Burbank zip code is now assigned to the Pasadena Courthouse.

It does not hear family law. There is no family law clerk or courtroom there, so your divorce is not filed in Burbank.

Our clients consistently tell us how much easier the process was than they expected. Here are a few of their stories in their own words..
Nancy was always available when I needed her and had such a calm, reassuring way about her that truly put me at ease. This whole experience has been really difficult for me, but for the first time I felt like I could breathe knowing she was handling things the right way.
If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and affordable, I can’t recommend Nancy enough. She made one of the hardest times in my life so much easier, and I’m forever thankful for her help.
Their team has consistently demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a clear understanding of the documentation process. Clients have shared how streamlined and straightforward the service was, often noting how much stress was alleviated thanks to the team’s responsiveness and support. It’s been a pleasure working alongside a group that brings the same level of care and attention to detail that I strive to offer in my own practice.

Common Questions
Can I file my divorce at the Burbank Courthouse on Olive Avenue?
No. The Burbank Courthouse hears civil and criminal cases only, with no family law clerk. Burbank divorces are filed at the Pasadena Courthouse, 300 E Walnut St, or downtown at Stanley Mosk.
Where do I get a restraining order if I live in Burbank?
Domestic violence restraining orders for Burbank residents are also handled at the Pasadena Courthouse. If you are in danger right now, call 911; the Burbank Police Department can help with emergency protective orders.
Does it cost more because Burbank files in Pasadena?
No. Our flat fee is the same wherever you live, and we file for you, so the extra distance is our problem rather than yours.
Can we still use you if my spouse lives in North Hollywood?
Yes. The court allows filing where either spouse lives, so a Burbank-and-NoHo couple can file in Pasadena or Van Nuys, or downtown at Stanley Mosk. We pick the one that suits you.
Are you attorneys?
No. We are registered and bonded Legal Document Assistants. We prepare and file documents at your direction, and we do not give legal advice or represent you in court.
