Understanding Our Rates
Our pricing is straightforward. The tables below show “Our Fee” for preparing your documents, which includes the valuable attorney support mentioned above. We also list the estimated “Court Filing Fee” (using Maricopa County as an example) to give you an idea of the “Example Total Cost.”
Important Notes:
- Court Filing Fees Vary: Filing fees are set by the Superior Court in each Arizona county and are subject to change. The fees listed below are examples based on Maricopa County and may differ where you file. These fees are paid directly to the Clerk of the Court when you file your documents.
- Other Potential Costs: Depending on your situation, additional costs may apply, such as fees for serving the other party (if they won’t sign an Acceptance of Service), newspaper publication costs (for service or Name Changes), or fees for certified copies. These are explained further down the page.

Frequently Asked questions
What exactly is a Legal Document Preparer?
A Legal Document Preparer is a professional who prepares legal documents.
We help you prepare court forms accurately based on the information you provide, but we are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice or represent you in court.
How is this service different from hiring a Benjamin Legal attorney?
Great question. Our Document Prep service is for individuals who are representing themselves (pro per). We are Legal Document Preparers, which means we professionally prepare the correct forms for you, but we cannot give you legal advice or strategy.
We can help you and provide you with the legal drafting support you deserve regardless if your matter is contested or not.
Hiring an Attorney from our main Benjamin Legal, P.C. law firm is for individuals who need legal advice, a case strategy, representation in court, or have a contested case.
Who is your service best suited for?
Our services are ideal for individuals who:
- Are handling family law matters.
- Need help ensuring their court paperwork is filled out correctly and completely.
- Are comfortable representing themselves in court (if required, though often not necessary when cases are settled by agreement).
- Want a more affordable option than hiring a full-service attorney.
What types of family law documents do you prepare?
We prepare documents for a wide range of Arizona family law matters, including:
- Divorce (Dissolution of Marriage)
- Legal Separation
- Establishing Paternity, Child Custody (Legal Decision-Making & Parenting Time), and Child Support
- Parenting Plans
- Modifying existing court orders (Child Support, Custody)
- Enforcing existing court orders
- Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)
- Name Changes (Adult & Minor)
- Grandparent Rights
- Annulment
We can file your legal documents with the court for you for an additional fee.
How much does your service cost?
We offer flat-fee pricing for most standard document preparation services. This means you know the full cost upfront before we begin working. Our fees cover the preparation of the documents only. Court filing fees are a separate cost that you will pay directly to the Clerk of the Court. Please see our Pricing Page for specific service costs.
What is the process for using your service?
Our process is simple and designed for efficiency: * Initial Review& Intake: Contact us to discuss your needs. If you decide to proceed, you’ll complete an intake form providing the necessary information. * Document Preparation: We expertly prepare all the required court documents based on your information and Arizona law. * Review & Finalization: We provide the completed documents for your review and signature. * Filing Instructions: We give you clear, step-by-step instructions on how, when, and where to file your documents with the appropriate Arizona Superior Court.
We can file your legal documents with the court for you for an additional fee.
Do I still need to go to court?
For many matters finalized by agreement (like divorces with a signed Consent Decree or Stipulations to Modify), you often do not need to appear in court. However, some proceedings, like Name Changes, always require a brief court hearing. Enforcement actions also require hearings. We will explain the likely court requirements for your specific situation.
Can you help me if the other party disagrees or if my case is complicated?
Yes. We prepare the initial Petitions and Responses required to start or defend a contested case. While we don’t provide courtroom representation, we ensure your legal positions are documented correctly for the judge.
Do you serve clients outside of Maricopa County?
Yes! We proudly serve clients in every county across Arizona. We have experience preparing documents for filing in all Arizona Superior Courts and understand the local rules and procedures statewide.
What if I start with document prep and my case becomes contested?
This is our biggest advantage. Unlike online-only form websites, we are part of a full-service law firm. If your case gets complicated, we can make the transition seamless. You can hire our attorneys at Benjamin Legal, P.C., and they will already have your file and background information. You won’t have to start over from scratch.
Why shouldn't I just use a cheap national forms website?
Because those sites are not Arizona law firms. We are Legal Document Preparers in Arizona who are directly supported and supervised by the active attorneys at Benjamin Legal, P.C. Our forms and processes are based on their real-world experience in Arizona courts, not a generic national template.
Need Legal Advice?
This document preparation service is for individuals who are representing themselves. If you need legal advice, a case strategy, or need courtroom representation, our attorneys at Benjamin Legal, P.C. are ready to help.
