Best Answer

The minimum time required to obtain a divorce in California is 6 months from the date a party is served with divorce papers (Summons and Petition for Dissolution of Marriage.)

Divorces can take longer if all of the issues of custody, support and division of assets cannot be resolved prior to the expiration of the 6 month period.

Also, you can "bifurcate" your divorce and obtain the "status" of being divorced at the end of the 6 month period, even if you haven't resolved all of the other issues of custody, support and property.

A custody coach can be a great help in answering all of your questions and helping you through your divorce. There are many good coaches out there, include myself.

Yes. Stopping a divorce is a possibility when both parties decide that they wish to stay married when the judgment has not been finalized. Most states have a waiting period from the time that the divorce is filed to the time that it is finalized by the court. For example, in California there is a 6 month waiting period. What you need to do is to see what stage your divorce proceedings are in and then you will need to file some type of revocation form or withdraw your divorce petition.
