DIVORCE - SUMMARY DISSOLUTION

A California Summary Dissolution is a quick "lawyerless", straightforward, inexpensive procedure for dissolving a marriage. You won't have to talk to a judge, it requires few forms, there are no formal court hearings, and no appearances are required.
 
Not everyone is qualified to get a summary dissolution; most people will need a regular divorce. To qualify for a summary dissolution you must meet all of the following requirements:
 
  1. You have been married or registered domestic partners for less than 5 years.
     
  2. You have no children together, including adopted children, children before or during the marriage or partnership, and neither is pregnant.
     
  3. You do not own or have any interest in houses, condominiums, rental property, land, or a 1-year lease or option to buy.
     
  4. You have built less than $5,000 in debts since the date of marriage or registered domestic partnership.
     
  5. You do not own more than $33,000 worth of property that you acquired during the marriage or domestic partnership.
     
  6. You do not have "separate property" worth more than $33,000 dollars, which does not include money you owe on the property or auto loans.
     
  7. You both agree than you will never get spousal or domestic partner support.
     
  8. Finally you both must sign an agreement that divides your property and debts called a "property agreement".
