Or does she need a lawyer? If so, how much will it cost? My parents have been separated for 14 years and my mother is a French citizen who resides overseas. My dad is a California resident.

Where in California does your father live? If it is in Los Angeles or Orange County, I can assist them and give you a flat fee presuming that both your mother and father will cooperate in signing the necessary documentation.

She either needs to come here or to hire a lawyer. Most lawyers charge actual costs and hourly fees from about $300 per hour to over $600 per hour. It depends where they practice and how much the local market is.
