FAQs

What if my spouse does not agree to a divorce?

California does not require the consent of your spouse to obtain a divorce. The Court will grant you a divorce, regardless of whether your spouse consents.

Where do I file for divorce?

To file for divorce in California, you must have been a resident of California for the six months prior to filing. You will generally be required to file your dissolution in the county in which you have resided for the three months prior to filing.

Should I file for legal separation or divorce?

When you file for a legal separation, you must complete the same process as you do for a dissolution of your marriage (see basic steps above). For this reason, unless there is a specific legal reason to proceed with a legal separation, most people will choose to move forward with a divorce.

What does that mean?

Confidential means that anything discussed in mediation cannot be used in litigation. Any documents prepared for purposes of your dissolution are an exception to this rule (Petition, Response, Disclosures, etc.). Additionally, if you reach an agreement, the signed document is not confidential. It may be filed with the Court as part of your Judgment.

What are Health Care Directives?

Health Care Directives are documents that express your wishes on how you would like your health care needs to be handled in the event you are not capable of making those decisions. Whether making decisions surrounding incapacity, or making end of life decisions, such as Do Not Resuscitate Orders (DNRs), these can be invaluable to your family members in knowing they are following your wishes.

Other questions that you might have are answered on the FAQ page of our website.

Can You Negotiate Child Support in California? Yes, you can negotiate child support in California—but you and your spouse have to agree on every detail. Once both sides reach a compromise, you will submit the written agreement for court approval. This is the next hurdle in the negotiation process. Once you and your spouse agree, the court has to review everything and sign off. They are checking to make sure you are in compliance with all legal requirements and that the agreement is fair to both of you. If everything looks good, the agreement should be approved. At this point it is a legally binding court order that both of you must abide by. If the judge finds any issues, you will have to go back to the drawing board.
