Yes. Deanna prepares divorce and dissolution paperwork, including the judgment packet that asks the court to finalize the case, using the information and choices you give her. Divorce and dissolution paperwork is $300 to $350, and judgment packet pricing is confirmed by phone. If the two of you want help reaching your own agreement first, Deanna is also a Certified Divorce Mediator and offers mediation as a separate service. We cannot advise you on your rights, choose forms for you or represent you in court.

Yes. Deanna can prepare a request for order at your direction when you want to ask the court to change child custody, visitation or support. You decide what to request; we cannot advise you on what to ask for or what the court is likely to do. Pricing is confirmed by phone.

A Legal Document Assistant in California is registered with the county and bonded to prepare legal documents at a client's direction for people representing themselves. Deanna is a Legal Document Assistant, not an attorney, and Marcie is a notary public. I am not an attorney. I can only provide self-help services at your specific direction. Doc Prep & Notary Services is not a law firm. We cannot represent you in court, advise you about your legal rights or the law, or select legal forms for you.

A mobile notary visit has a travel fee of $50 to $80 to come to you, whether that is your home, your office, or a local coffee shop. The fee rises with the distance from our Mission Valley base, and each notarized signature is $15 on top of it. We confirm your fee when we call.

Yes. Hospital and care facility appointments are from $125. The signer must be alert, aware of what they are signing, willing to sign and have acceptable identification.

Each signer needs a current government issued photo ID, such as a California driver's license or ID card, a U.S. passport or a U.S. military ID. Some other IDs also qualify. If a signer's ID is expired or missing, tell us before the appointment so we can explain the options, which may include credible witnesses.

For today, calling is fastest. Call (619) 345-0006 and we will tell you what is open. For a later day, you can send a booking request online and we will call you to confirm the time and price.

Deanna prepares documents at your direction, and Marcie, a separately commissioned California Notary Public, notarizes signatures. California rules do not allow a notary to notarize a document in which the notary has a direct financial or beneficial interest. If you have a question about how that applies to your appointment, ask us when you call.

Yes. Deanna and Marcie welcome LGBTQ+ clients and are members of the San Diego Equality Business Association. Deanna prepares name change and gender change paperwork at your direction, and we use the name and pronouns you give us.
