Filing for divorce in California

Divorce begins when one spouse delivers divorce papers to the other. It is essential that before taking this step you consult with an Orange County divorce attorney to understand your rights and options. Local county laws require that at least one spouse be a resident of the county for at least three months and a resident of California for at least six months before filing the petition.

Additionally, state laws also provide for a six-month waiting period once the petition is filed before the marriage can be dissolved. After these six months, the petitioner can move forward with the divorce or ask the court to restore her marital status.
