Filing Your Divorce in Riverside County

Riverside County is geographically enormous, stretching from the Inland Empire to the Arizona border, and it spreads family law across four courthouses to match. It is also one of only two counties in California that charge more than the standard fee to file.

The historic Riverside County Courthouse on Main Street in Riverside
Riverside’s 1903 county courthouse on Main Street. Family law filings are taken a block north at the Family Law Courthouse, 4175 Main Street.

Four family law courthouses
Riverside, Menifee, Indio and Blythe
Riverside Family Law Courthouse, 4175 Main Street, Riverside — the county’s main family law venue

We file there on your behalf, so the address above is for your reference rather than your diary.

  • $450 here, not $435Riverside adds a courthouse construction surcharge on top of the state fee, so a divorce petition costs $450 rather than the $435 charged in most of California. Only San Francisco does the same. Form FW-001 still waives it if paying would be a hardship.
  • Four family law courthousesRiverside Family Law Courthouse at 4175 Main Street is the main venue. Menifee Justice Center, 27401 Menifee Center Drive. Larson Justice Center, 46-200 Oasis Street, Indio. Blythe Courthouse, 265 N. Broadway. Which one takes your case depends on where you live.
  • Six months in California, three in the countyOne spouse must meet both before Riverside will accept the case. In a county this large, people move between Riverside and San Bernardino often enough that this catches filers out.
  • Distance is the real costFrom Blythe to the Riverside courthouse is more than three hours each way. Because we prepare and file for you, where you live in the county changes nothing about what you pay or how long it takes.

None of this is advice about your case — it is the practical detail of how this county works, which is the part most people cannot find in one place. If you would rather hand the whole thing over, that is what we are for.

Riverside County Divorce Plans and Pricing

Two flat-fee plans cover almost every uncontested divorce in the county. Which one you need depends on whether there are children, property or debts to divide — not on where in Riverside County you live. The court’s filing fee is separate and goes to the court.

I am so grateful for Nancy. After struggling to find anyone to help me with my divorce paperwork, she was the one who stepped in when I needed it most. Not only was she extremely affordable, but she also took the time to talk me through everything and make sure I understood the process.

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.

As a credit repair attorney, I work closely with clients who are often navigating stressful and complex financial situations—many of which include misreported items on their credit reports. When those same clients have needed affordable and reliable assistance with divorce filings, referring them to the Low Cost Divorce preparation team has been a truly seamless and positive experience.

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.
I referred a client to Low Cost Divorce for document preparation, and the experience was smooth and professional from start to finish. Nancy was incredibly efficient, timely, and clearly very knowledgeable. She made what can often feel like an overwhelming process much more manageable and stress-free for my client. I truly appreciated her responsiveness and attention to detail. Highly recommend her services for anyone looking for reliable and affordable divorce services.

Common Questions

Do I have to live in Riverside County to file here?

One spouse must have lived in California for six months and in Riverside County for three months before filing in this county. We check this on the free call, because filing in the wrong county means starting over.

Do we both have to agree?

You can start without your spouse’s agreement or participation. If they never respond, we prepare the paperwork for a default judgment. What we cannot help with is a genuinely contested case.

Do I have to go to the courthouse?

Usually not. We file for you, and most uncontested Riverside County divorces are decided on the paperwork without a hearing.

How long will it take?

California requires six months from the date your spouse is served. No service can shorten that. What we can do is make sure nothing is rejected along the way, so six months does not become nine.

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.
