What Are the Basic Steps for Filing for Divorce
While divorce laws vary by state, here are the basic steps:
- First, you must meet the residency requirements of the state in which you wish to file.
- Second, you must have “grounds” (a legally acceptable reasons) to end your marriage, such as “irreconcilable differences.”
- Third, you must file divorce papers and have copies sent to your spouse.
- Fourth, if your spouse disagrees with anything in the divorce papers, he or she will then have the opportunity to file papers telling his or her side. This is called “contesting the divorce.” In this case, you will have to attend a series of court appearances to sort the issues out. If your spouse does not disagree with anything, he or she should sign the papers and send them back to you and/or the court. This is called an “uncontested divorce.” If a certain period of time passes and your spouse does not sign the papers or file any papers of his/her own, you may be able to proceed with the divorce as an uncontested divorce. You should speak to the law firm about how long you have to wait to see if your spouse answers the divorce papers before you can continue with the divorce.
- Fifth, if there is property that you need divided, or if you need financial support from your spouse, you will have to work that out in an out-of-court settlement, or in a series of court hearings. Custody may also be decided as part of your divorce.

Divorce/Dissolution of Marriage
DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE AND FINAL DEGREE OF DISSOLUTION
The State of California is a no-fault State. This means that filing for divorce does not require you to prove anyone is at fault. You may plead that irreconcilable differences have arisen between the parties as the basis of your dissolution of marriage.
The requirement for filing for divorce in California is a minimum of six (6) months residency of one spouse in the State of California prior to filing for divorce. The court will not enter your dissolution of marriage decree sooner than six (6) months from the date of filing of the divorce. Thus, if you plan to remarry subsequent to your divorce, you should plan accordingly in addition to having in mind that the court’s busy schedule sometimes does not allow the judgment of dissolution of marriage or a decree to be processed on time. Thus, your attorney will be able to file a motion to terminate the status of your marriage by a proceeding called, a motion to bifurcate, postponing all remaining dissolution issues to be resolved by way of mediation, the stipulation of the parties, or a trial at a later time.
