Divorce Mediation in Kings County, California
Calmer, more affordable divorce for Kings County families, handled entirely from home.
Kings County may be one of the San Joaquin Valley's smaller counties, but its families deserve the same gentle, affordable path through divorce as anywhere in California. Serving Hanford, Lemoore, Corcoran, and Avenal, California Divorce Mediators manages your entire dissolution online at one flat fee. The county seat of Hanford is where the Kings County Superior Court stands, but you will never need to walk through its doors. Instead, secure online video sessions bring you and your spouse together to settle property, support, and custody respectfully, on your schedule and from the privacy of your own home.
Because California recognizes no-fault divorce, you can end your marriage without assigning blame or revisiting old conflicts. We guide a fair division of community property, help shape support and parenting plans, and complete electronic filing on your behalf. The flat-fee retainer keeps everything predictable, and after the mandatory six-month waiting period your divorce is final, reached entirely online with no court appearance and no stressful commute downtown.

Yes. For an uncontested mediated case, couples in Hanford and Corcoran complete everything online. We prepare your marital settlement agreement and file it electronically with the Kings County Superior Court. California allows an uncontested dissolution judgment to be entered without a hearing when both spouses agree, so you finish from home rather than appearing before a judge.

How long does a divorce take in Kings County?
California imposes a mandatory six-month waiting period from the date of service before any divorce can be finalized. Most of the work is finished well before then, and mediation avoids the long delays of a contested court calendar.

Yes. Because everything happens by secure video, it doesn't matter whether you're in Hanford, Avenal, or anywhere else in the county, even if the two of you no longer live together.
Do we each need our own lawyer?
Mediation is designed so you don't each hire attorneys to battle it out. Your attorney-mediator stays neutral and guides you both. You're always free to have an outside attorney review the final agreement if you'd like.
