Online filing questions
Can I file for divorce completely online in California?+
Not in one step. You can prepare your forms online, and many California Superior Courts accept e-filing through a county-approved vendor. Some counties still require mail or in-person filing for self-represented parties, so the online part usually covers preparation and, in many counties, submission, not one unified portal for every step.
What does Virdix actually do online?+
Virdix is a guided online interview that turns your answers into completed, court-ready California Judicial Council forms, including the FL-100 Petition and FL-110 Summons, along with county-specific filing instructions. You then file those forms with your county's Superior Court using whatever method that court accepts.
Do I need a lawyer to file for divorce online in California?+
No. California allows self-represented filers, and the Judicial Council forms are built to be completed without an attorney. Virdix prepares your documents and gives you county-matched filing instructions, but is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
How is Virdix different from other online divorce services?+
Virdix is built state by state rather than as a one-size-fits-all national generator: its California product has form logic and filing instructions specific to all 58 counties. You can start and see page one of your first document before paying; the whole case is a one time $79 limited-time price ($349 after October 31).
Do I need to go to the courthouse if I file online?+
It depends on your county's e-filing rules and your case. Many initial filings can be submitted electronically or by mail, but some counties still require certain documents, like the original Proof of Service, to be filed in person, and hearings generally still happen at the courthouse or by remote appearance where the court allows it.
Is an online divorce service the same as an online court?+
No. Online divorce services, including Virdix, prepare documents. The court itself, where your case is actually decided, is a separate government entity with its own filing and hearing procedures. No private company can file, decide, or finalize your case for you.
