Divorce  Process

Before a spouse can file for divorce, he/she must meet state residency requirements and also have legitimate grounds for divorce.  In California, residency requirements state that a person may file for divorce if he/she has been a resident of the state for at least 6 months, and a resident of his/her county for at least 3 months.  California is a “no fault” state, which means that people can file for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences or incurable insanity.

Types of Divorce

Divorces are categorized as contested or uncontested.  The type of divorce a person is going through will determine the amount of conflict and obstacles they will have to overcome.  For example, an uncontested divorce involves minimal conflict because spouses are able to agree on terms related to the custody of their children, property division, child support, and spousal support.  Where as people who are going through contested divorces cannot come to an agreement on these important issues, which leads to delays and frustration throughout the divorce process.
