Who can help on Final Judgement paper?

Question Details: We filed for divorce on our own and did all paper work except the Disclosure of Assets and Final Judgement. We now agree on who gets what, etc. Neither of us need the disclosure of assets from each other. Can we just file form FL-141 to the court without giving each other the disclosure since neither of us need/care any way and it's too complicated to fill in? Also, who can help us to do the Final Judgement without being on or representing neither side? Is there someone has license to do the Final Judgement without being a lawyer?

You should not trust preparation of the Judgment to a non-lawyer. Instead, just contact an attorney and have him/her prepare your judgment. Normally, if you already agreed on everything, this document should be inexpensive and fast.

Do not entrust document preparation to a non-lawyer. If you can't afford an attorney, your county is mandated by law to provide a pro-per clinic for unrepresented parties. While the work will be done by non-lawyers, it will be supervised by an experienced family lawyer, usually a Certified Family Law Specialist. There are special forms to fill out to waive the requirements of a Final Declaration of Disclosure. However, the Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure cannot be waived and the procedure must be completed before the court can sign any judgment. This procedure calls for the identification of assets and debts (no values) and the completion and service of an Income and Expense Declaration for each party. This is necessary so that the judge can be satisfied that the agreement you are entering into in knowledgeable.
