Before you ask
Most services only handle simple uncontested divorces and leave you with blank forms. In California, Virdix also handles contested cases (custody battles, support disputes, DV situations) and guides you through the entire process. Our guided declaration builder helps you write clear, court ready declarations, and we support you from initial filing through final judgment.
California and Florida today, with more states planned. California is Virdix's deepest coverage: contested and uncontested divorce, custody, child support, parentage, and domestic violence restraining orders across all 58 counties. Florida coverage is uncontested divorce only, with or without children, plus the joint simplified dissolution track. Florida contested divorce, custody, parentage, and domestic violence preparation aren't available yet.
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 state court forms (California's Judicial Council forms, Florida's Family Law Rules of Procedure 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.
In California, we support divorce, legal separation, parentage (paternity), custody modifications, child support, and domestic violence restraining orders, both contested and uncontested, across all 58 counties. In Florida, we support uncontested divorce, with or without children, plus the joint simplified dissolution track.
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.
In California, 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. Florida coverage today is uncontested cases only. If your case involves complex assets, criminal matters, or (in Florida) a contested dispute, we recommend also consulting an attorney.
