San Bernardino County family court
San Bernardino offers in-person and online self-help, district-specific Family Court Services and voluntary family-law eFiling. The court discontinued FileSubmit for family law in August 2026, so current instructions matter.
Choose an official routeOfficial starting points
Every link opens an official court page. The note on each card tells you what that page can—and cannot—confirm by itself.
The court offers free family-law self-help for people without lawyers, including form review, process information, in-person centers, DASH online assistance and guided interviews.
Communications are not confidential, staff may assist both parties and no attorney-client relationship is created.
The court publishes orientation, district information sheets and child custody recommending counseling details for parents sent to Family Court Services.
Public orientation does not prove that a counseling session is scheduled, completed or waived.
Family-law eFiling is voluntary for attorneys and self-represented people. The court publishes requirements, ineligible documents and approved service-provider information.
The EFSP receipt confirms transmission only. The court sends a separate acceptance or rejection notice.
The directory routes to case information and documents, eFiling, Family Court Services, appointments and remote-access instructions.
Online availability varies by record type and access level; it does not prove the online view is complete.
District orientation
Self-help and Family Court Services operate across multiple districts. The online system can route you, but your filed case record is what confirms the assigned location and judicial officer.

Your accepted filing and case record — assigned judicial officer and location
The court discontinued FileSubmit for family-law filings on August 6, 2026. Current options include eFiling and other approved methods listed by the court.
The court’s current page says eligible family-law documents may be submitted through an approved electronic filing service provider.
An EFSP transmission receipt is not acceptance. Preserve the later court notice showing whether the document was accepted or rejected.
The status ladder
A directory can show where a service exists. Only the current record, accepted document, signed order or direct court confirmation can establish the corresponding case status.
