Information, California Divorce.
Here we are going to recap a bit on California divorce, as any state it has its own way of handling divorce, and its own set of guidelines. Over the past few weeks, we have recapped a bit, and if you have any state that you have questions about please feel free to ask, I will dig up some information about divorce in those areas. So here is some rules to divorce in California.
1. To divorce in California well you must live here at least six months before filing for divorce in the state.
2. To divorce in California you must also live in the county for at least 3 months before filing for divorce.
Most states just allow that you live within the state for so long before filing for divorce, but in California you must be a resident of the county you reside in for 3 months, before filing for divorce. If you are thinking of moving before you file, to get away you will have to live in your new place for 3 months before you are able to file for divorce. So do not move out first. File for your divorce, it will make the process much easier in the state of California, you find every state is different on those guidelines.
When filing for divorce in California, either spouse can file for divorce papers, saying that the marriage is irreconcilable. So this means that both of the people involved in the marriage agree that there is no way the marriage can make it, that either spouse does not want the marriage to continue. That the differences in the marriage have caused both people to grow apart. They both can agree in divorce papers with a stipulation that the marriage has ended.
In California the divorce process legally begins when one of the spouses in the marriage has filed a petition…..*this is a petition referred to as dissolution of marriage*. The other spouse will be served with divorce papers and then will be given a reasonable amount of time to respond, to the divorce papers. A divorce is never an easy process. Although if the couple is an agreement of the divorce and both know that it is coming and can agree on debt division, property, as well as the child custody and support, the process can be much easier and even filed without having to go to trial, in divorce court. In most cases couples do not agree about many things in the divorce, and most of the time we see it go to trial. There will be a time and date set for the divorce trial.
When the divorce has been filed, either person in the divorce can file for temporary assistance from the court for help with the child custody, support and debt, until the divorce process is finalized.
