Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a California divorce take?

California has a mandatory 6-month waiting period from the date the Respondent is served (Cal. Fam. Code § 2339). The earliest a divorce can be finalized is 6 months and 1 day after service. Uncontested cases can wrap up shortly after; contested cases may take 1–2 years.

What is summary dissolution in California?

Summary dissolution is a simplified divorce available when: married less than 5 years, no children, no real property, limited debts (under $6,000), limited community property (under $48,000 excluding cars), and both parties waive spousal support. Both spouses must agree.

How is community property divided in California?

California law requires equal (50/50) division of community property. This is stricter than "equitable distribution" states, which allow unequal division. All assets and debts acquired during marriage are presumed community property under Cal. Fam. Code § 760.

Disclaimer: California is a community property state with mandatory waiting periods. These documents are jurisdiction-correct for uncontested cases. Consult a California family law attorney for contested matters.
