This is a common question for San Diego divorce attorney Marie Backes. Known for her extreme zealousness in her exclusively family law practice in anywhere from multi-million dollar estate cases, to cases where children are the only real assets, Ms. Backes focuses on every aspect of San Diego family law.
Divorce in California takes a long time because the law requires at least six months to pass from the date the divorce petition is served for the divorce to become final. Historically, the reasoning behind this is it provides a period of time during which the parties might calm down and possibly even reconcile their differences.
With a San Diego divorce, you can make a formal request to the court to diverge your case, so that after six months you are considered no longer married, while the unresolved issues with your case will continue to be dealt with by the court. Unresolved issues may include property division, spousal if not also San Diego child support and, if applicable, parenting issues.
Divorce in California can and will go forward even if just one party wants it. Because we have a no-fault divorce system in place, "irreconcilable differences" can be considerable grounds for divorce, even if one side disagrees.
