Welcome: CALIFORNIAN Divorce Infographic

There are some things you SHOULD do before you apply.

• If you are not a US citizen, you must talk to an immigration lawyer as divorce could change your legal status. To get a dissolution of marriage in California, you must meet two residency requirements as of the date when you file the initial divorce papers.

• Gather any relevant financial information in advance if you can.

• Be careful about joint applications or leaving it all to your spouse. Are they really going to drive this forward, or maybe slow things down?

• Many of the divorce forms from the California Courts website are fillable, meaning that you can complete them online.

• Do your homework: Watch our Divorcing a Difficult Spouse Workshop Webinar right now, which includes complimentary initial consultations with most of the experts in the workshop – and more if you need them.
