FAQ
Common questions
Most services only handle simple uncontested divorces and leave you with blank forms. Virdix handles contested cases (custody battles, support disputes, DV situations) and guides you through the entire process. Our AI-powered declaration builder helps you write compelling declarations, and we support you from initial filing through final judgment.
No. Virdix is a document preparation service that helps you represent yourself (pro se) in family court. We don't provide legal advice or represent you in court. However, with properly prepared documents and our step-by-step guidance, many people successfully handle their own cases.
We build your documents on the official California Judicial Council forms and follow each court's formatting requirements. Acceptance decisions always rest with the court; if a clerk rejects a filing, our included revision support helps you correct and refile.
We support divorce, legal separation, parentage (paternity), custody modifications, child support, and domestic violence restraining orders. Both contested and uncontested cases across all 58 California counties.
Most people complete each phase in 20 to 40 minutes. You can save your progress and return anytime. Once you finish a phase, your documents are ready immediately to print, sign, and file.
Virdix was built for complicated cases. Our declaration builder, parenting plan builder, and settlement agreement tools help you handle custody disputes, support disagreements, and high-conflict situations. If your case involves complex assets or criminal matters, we recommend also consulting an attorney.
