Do you qualify for an uncontested divorce in California?
An uncontested California divorce works when you agree, meet the residency rule, and complete the required financial disclosures. Community property and the six-month wait shape the case; a few situations still call for a lawyer.
- One spouse meets the six-month state and three-month county residency rule.
- You both complete and exchange the mandatory financial disclosures.
- You agree on dividing community property and debts.
- If custody, support, or a business valuation is disputed, get legal advice first.
