The length of a divorce depends on the complexity of your case and how quickly you and your spouse can agree on key issues. At a minimum, California requires a six-month waiting period before a divorce can be finalized. More complicated cases involving property, child custody, or other disputes may take longer to resolve.

A collaborative divorce is ideal for couples who want to minimize stress, save time and money, and focus on maintaining respectful communication, especially when children are involved.

What happens if my spouse refuses to cooperate?

If your spouse is unwilling to negotiate or delays the process, our Los Angeles divorce lawyers use proven strategies to move your case forward. This might include court intervention or filing motions to compel action. Our priority is ensuring your case progresses efficiently and your rights are protected.

Do I need grounds to seek a divorce in California?

Not necessarily. In California, grounds for divorce are legal reasons you can seek a divorce. While the state honors no-fault divorces, understanding how the legal grounds to end your marriage can affect your divorce is crucial to ensuring you get the best outcome possible.
