Uncontested Divorce Lawyers in Rancho Cucamonga, CA
More Than 20 Years of Guidance for Complete, Enforceable Divorce Agreements
An uncontested divorce can limit conflict, litigation costs, and emotional strain when both spouses agree on the issues that must be resolved. Agreement alone doesn’t finalize a marriage, however. California still requires accurate financial disclosures, legally sufficient forms, court approval, and a signed final judgment.
At Hatcher Law Firm, APC, we draw on more than 20 years of family law experience to provide personalized, hands-on guidance through each step. Our firm serves Californians throughout San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and the Inland Empire.

Our Uncontested Divorce Representation
Even when spouses agree on all key issues, the legal process remains detailed and requires complete, accurate paperwork. Mistakes can lead to delays, additional expenses, or agreements that create future problems. We oversee the agreement, disclosures, document preparation, and court process from filing through judgment.
You may choose an uncontested divorce when you and your spouse agree on all issues, such as property division, custody, child support, and alimony.
In an amicable divorce, our uncontested divorce lawyers review whether the proposed terms address the applicable financial, property, parenting, and support issues before preparing the documents needed to request a final judgment.
Our representation can include:
- Agreement review: We review proposed terms for California legal requirements and your stated interests.
- Financial disclosures: We help address the required exchange of information about income, property, and debts.
- Document preparation: We prepare, complete, and file the required divorce documents.
- Settlement terms: We help formalize agreements involving property and debt division, child custody and parenting arrangements, child support, and spousal support.
- Court coordination: We communicate with the court and track the case through each stage.
- Ongoing guidance: We explain the case status, procedural requirements, and next steps.
If a material disagreement, undisclosed asset, or concern about whether an agreement was freely made arises, we can assess whether a different legal strategy is appropriate. Our goal is to preserve the efficiency of an uncontested process without overlooking issues that need to be resolved.
California’s Summary Dissolution Process
California offers a simplified procedure for some qualifying couples called summary dissolution. It isn’t the same as every uncontested divorce, and it has specific eligibility requirements. We evaluate whether this option fits your circumstances and prepare the joint paperwork when it does.
To qualify, spouses generally must:
- Have been married for less than five years.
- Have no minor children together.
- Own no real property and remain within California’s applicable property and debt limits.
- Agree on property division and waive spousal support.
- Sign a joint petition and settlement agreement.

Cornell Hatcher is the best. My divorce case was difficult and other law offices refuse to take the case. Due to its nature of complexity. Mr. Hatcher not only took my case with confidence but also won.
