Solano County divorce mediation FAQs
Do Vallejo couples have to travel to Fairfield to divorce?
No. Vallejo couples complete the entire mediated divorce online, meeting by secure video and never driving to Fairfield. We prepare your signed agreements for electronic filing with the Solano County Superior Court. Because the matter is uncontested, no court appearance is required, sparing you the commute across the county to finalize your dissolution.
Why might mediation cost less for a Vacaville family?
Mediation uses one neutral professional instead of two opposing attorneys, and our flat fee replaces unpredictable hourly billing. For a Vacaville family, that often means a far lower and more predictable total cost than litigation. You also save on travel and time away from work, since every session and filing happens online.
Do I have to go to the Solano County Superior Court for a mediated divorce?
No. In a mediated divorce you never appear before a judge. We prepare and file every document with the Solano County Superior Court electronically and guide you through to a final judgment, entirely from home.
How much does divorce mediation cost in Solano County?
We charge a single flat fee, agreed before you begin, rather than billing by the hour the way litigation does. You'll know your full cost upfront, with no surprises.
How long does a divorce take in Solano 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.
Can we mediate if we live in different parts of Solano County?
Yes. Because everything happens by secure video, it doesn't matter whether you're in Vallejo, Benicia, 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.
