Welcome to Our Family Law, Divorce, and Domestic Partnership Litigation and Discovery Library!
By entering into this page, you've agreed to the terms of our Disclaimer and read the conditions for use described on the preceding page which includes helping us, help you.
Because this is a work in progress, it will take time to add the hundreds of documents that we intend to provide you. But we have to start somewhere. Therefore, what follows below are the subject areas that we now present or will soon provide free divorce form PDF's for your review and consideration to assist you as a family law attorney, and especially as a self-represented party.
What you will find will be the topic areas with links to pages that briefly explain the PDF's we've uploaded for your review. I will be drafting all the subject areas as a sort of outline I can follow and work on, but it will take much time to add them each one by one. From the emails I receive, I know that some are more immediately important to you then others and will attempt to deal with the most pressing needs that parties have first.
Please keep in mind, these are actual sanitized pleadings filed in real cases over our many years of family law litigation experience. Hence, you will need to pick and choose what is relevant to your situation, and to add additional facts and information.

“Not only is Mr. Peterson’s knowledge of the law beyond measure, he’s able to articulate it so it’s understandable.”
If you are going through a divorce, Arnold & Peterson is in my opinion the best option available. Mr. Peterson and his assistant Jordyn are top notch. Not only is Mr. Peterson’s knowledge of the law beyond measure, he’s able to articulate it so it’s understandable. He was able to navigate my emotions and help my uphill battle to receive proper visitation as a father. Jordyn never hesitated to reach out within the same business day if documents were needed or for any question I had about the process. Thanks to the team, we resolved the divorce healthfully. I couldn’t be more grateful.- Josh Arguijo -
“I needed the best analysis and advice possible. I found Attorney Thurman Arnold III in Palm Springs.”
I am a Veteran and Retired Deputy Sheriff. My divorce involved complicated property distribution and spousal support issues. I spent considerable time looking for the best Counsel I could find before I negotiated with my ex-wife and her Attorney. In fact, my case was in another county, but that didn't matter. I needed the best analysis and advice possible. I found Attorney Thurman Arnold III in Palm Springs. Attorney Arnold is a BAR Certified Family Law Specialist. In my humble opinion the best! His review of my case and how "Moore Marsden" property division applied was invaluable. His guidance saved me $30,000 dollars. Thank you, Thurman!- Jeff Jones -
“Mike is adept at managing expectations and being very fair and measured.”
Needed to modify a settlement and hired Mike Peterson. Mike is very, very knowledgeable and experienced. When you are going through a divorce or child custody issues, it is the most terrifying and stressful experience. Mike is adept at managing expectations and being very fair and measured. I wish I had hired him initially to get it all done straight the first time around. He is very responsive and communicative and understands the client well. Good luck going through this process - have a good guide like Mike without a doubt.- Donika McKelvie -

“Very professional, honest, and handled everything without a hiccup.”
Arnold & Peterson are a class act. Very professional, honest, and handled everything without a hiccup. When a year had passed, he and Jordyn contacted me to let me know I still had retainer on the books! I had forgot and they sent me the money anyway! For this I am very grateful and cannot recommend them enough. You won’t go wrong with Thurman Arnold. He is definitely the guy to have on your side.- Matt Feenstra -
