Start with the California court system
California has 58 trial courts, one in each county. The Judicial Branch's court finder is the safest starting point when you need the official court website for a county, while the statewide Self-Help Guide provides general court information and routes to court-operated help.
Statewide Judicial Council forms and county-specific resources can both matter. Equalora does not decide which form or local requirement applies. Use the official forms finder and the website or self-help center for the county handling the case.
Use Equalora as the organizing layer
Equalora can be used to organize and prepare a family-court case throughout the United States. In California, that can mean keeping the notice you received beside its source, building a chronology from your own records, tracking dates with notes about where they came from, and preparing materials for a lawyer, self-help appointment, or hearing conversation.
Court-specific law, forms, filing instructions, deadlines, procedures, and local services remain with the official court resources. Equalora is a private case workspace, not a California court service or a source of county-specific legal advice.
Pilot local-resource pages now available
These are the California counties currently included in the verified local-resource pilot. Equalora's workspace is not limited to these counties.
Organize the next step in Equalora
Equalora can be used to organize and prepare a family-court case throughout the United States. It does not determine which local law, form, filing instruction, deadline, procedure, or service applies.
Start a case file
Keep documents and source context together in one private workspace.
Build a family-court timeline
Put events and supporting records into a chronology you can review.
Prepare for a hearing
Organize the material you want available for a hearing conversation.
Review self-represented preparation
Use a jurisdiction-neutral workflow alongside official court help.
Important local boundary
Equalora is organizational software, not a court, law firm, or legal advice service. Confirm local law, forms, filing instructions, deadlines, procedures, court locations, and services with the official court sources or qualified counsel. Nothing on this page guarantees that a resource applies to a particular case.
