California Drafting
The opinion comes first. The lane waits for it.
California built a real regulated lane for document preparation — the registered-and-bonded Legal Document Assistant program — and whether it reaches interactive self-help software is exactly the kind of question this platform sends to counsel instead of answering for itself. Until it's resolved, this page says so, and everything that IS live stays live.
The capability engine's answer today
California regulates compensated self-help service through the Legal Document Assistant regime (Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 6400/6402 — registration and bond), with no express software safe harbor — whether it reaches this platform's interactive software is a counsel opinion still open, so this platform prepares no California documents, and says so. The Judicial Branch's self-help center and Judicial Council forms are the filing path meanwhile.

The § 4055 support calculator
California's statutory child-support formula, computed exactly as the statute states it and verified against the stored official text on every render — with the full input organizer.
Analysis and organizers
The twelve-gate summary-dissolution screen, the equal-division property organizer, the fourteen-factor spousal organizer, the ATRO explainer, the disclosure tracker, and the filing check — issue analysis in the transparency shape, never document generation.
The official forms, routed
Judicial Council forms control every California filing — this platform indexes them (number, title, effective date) and routes to the official pages; it never reproduces or imitates a form.
Learn + the workflow tracker
Twelve corpus-keyed topics — the disclosure-before-judgment trap first — and the tracker that teaches the ATROs at filing and the whichever-first clock at service.
What opens the lane
California regulates compensated self-help service through the Legal Document Assistant regime (Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 6400/6402 — registration and bond), with no express software safe harbor. Whether that regime reaches this platform's interactive software is a counsel opinion the owner obtains in the real world — and the document lane opens only when it resolves (plus any required registration). Until then this page is the honest gate, not a tool.
No intake, no questionnaire, no document assembly exists on this page by construction — a gate that collects your facts is not a gate. Analysis surfaces stay available; the capability engine decides, and /engine shows the same matrix this page enforces.

California Courts Self-Help Guide — Divorce (four-step process, Judicial Council forms, Spanish edition)
The Judicial Branch self-help center states the "at least 6 months" reality and walks the official four-step process — start from the official page; each superior court adds its own local rules and forms (CRC rule 5.4).

Official forms CONTROL every filing — this platform indexes them label-only (number · title · effective date) and never reproduces or imitates them; the corpus 'form' rows carry the index.

Authority locked — retrieved from the hash-pinned corpus
Why this page exists at all:a locked feature that names exactly what unlocks it is worth more than a hidden one — and California consumers deserve to know the platform is holding the line the state's own LDA program draws: legal information, not legal advice, and no document preparation without the regime question answered.
