Chula Vista Paralegal

Custody & Family Law Document Preparation for Self-Represented Clients

Registered and Bonded Legal Document Assistance (LDA) serving Chula Vista and surrounding communities LDA Registration Number: KC 122 We prepare documents. We are not attorneys, we do not give legal advice, and we do not appear in court.

If you are handling a family law matter in Pro Per (without a lawyer), we can help you prepare clear, complete, and court-ready paperwork at your specific direction. Our focus is custody and parenting plans, with additional document preparation services available for many other common California matters.

Custody & Parenting Plan Document Preparation

Requests to establish or modify custody and visitation arrangements
Responses and supporting declarations at your direction
Attachments commonly used for custody presentations (timelines, calendars, exhibits)
Packets for stipulated agreements (when both parties agree)
