How Long Does the Divorce Process Take?

California requires that you wait at least six months after filing your petition before your divorce can be finalized. It is one of the few states that actively has this requirement. This is done to ensure that you are absolutely sure you cannot continue on as a married couple.

What is a Wife Entitled to in a Divorce in California?

A wife in a California divorce can be entitled to up to half of the marriage's assets and up to 40% of their spouse's income for child support, spousal support, and primary child custody.

How Do You File for Divorce in California?

The legal process for filing for divorce can be very complicated because of the various forms and steps you must complete. This is especially true for those seeking alimony, child support orders, child custody, and orders that divide property.

In more complex divorce cases, such as in the case of a contested divorce, where the spouse has issued a response to the petition, the courts may need to handle separate issues in hearings. In some cases, it may even be necessary to bring the case to trial. Our Murrieta divorce attorneys can help guide you in your particular situation. We are passionate about ensuring our clients feel well-informed and confident in the decisions they make throughout the divorce proceedings.
