In California, can I get a divorce in one month? 8 Answers as of February 09, 2012

No. The court can't grant a dissolution until six months and one day after the initial court filing.

No, it takes six months from the date the other side is served with papers before a divorce can be final.

No, while the paperwork may be completed within one month provided the parties are in agreement, the dissolution can not be final until 6 months after service of the petition or the respondent's filing a response, whichever is first.

Maybe. You can get a summary dissolution which is the quickest divorce but there is not guarantee that it will be completely final in one month. This type of divorce has several rules, there can be no children, marriage under 5 years, minimal debts and assets. If you qualify, you could possibly have it done in about one month. If not, the standard divorce is at least 6 months.

You can have all the paperwork done in one month, but you cannot be divorced any sooner than 6 months and 1 day from the date the documents are served on the responding party.

In California, you cannot dissolve marital status in one month. However, it is possible, albeit unlikely, that if you file and your divorce case is immediately served on your spouse, if you promptly file the proof of service, if your spouse immediately files and serves his/her Response, if you and your spouse immediately prepare and serve your respective Preliminary and Final Declarations of Disclosure (or serve your respective Preliminary Declarations of Disclosure and sign waivers of Final Declarations of Disclosure), and enter into and file a Stipulated Judgment with all appropriate accompanying documents, the Court could enter Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage (as soon as the Court has time to process the Judgment), setting forth a date of dissolution of marital status six months after the date the divorce case was served on your spouse.

No. The minimum length of time required under the law is 6 months and a day after the petition for divorce is served on the respondent.

No, it takes a minimum of six months and one day from the date the Petition and Summons are served on the other party.
