FAQ
There is no minimum marriage length to qualify for alimony, but the easier it is for the lower-earning spouse to become self-sufficient, the less support they may receive.
If you've been married less than five years and have no children, you may qualify for a simpler way to get divorced (summary dissolution).
If you received these forms, your spouse or domestic partner is asking the court to legally change your marriage or domestic partnership. Usually, this means they're asking for a divorce. They may be asking for a legal separation or annulment.
In practice, California's divorce laws equally apply to couples who are married any length of time, meaning even short marriages will likely require the equal and fair division of assets through the courts.
A wife in California can be entitled to up to half of the assets in the marriage along with up to 40% of their partner's income for child support, spousal support, and primary child custody.
Amending Your Divorce Decree via a Change of Circumstances If one party undergoes a material or other substantial change in their life situation, they may be able to seek a modification of the original divorce decree. The party must have a significant change in these cases.
(a) Definitions (3) "Amendment to a pleading" means a pleading that modifies another pleading and alleges facts or requests relief materially different from the facts alleged or the relief requested in the modified pleading.
Understanding Court Order Modifications in California Just because a judge was the one who issued your court order does not mean that it is permanent. Divorce orders, whether custody orders or support orders, can be modified if you have experienced a change in circumstance and can prove it in court.
If you would like to amend your Petition or Response in your case, you are allowed to amend one time without permission from the court. For example, if you originally asked for a Legal Separation, but now you would like to change your request to a Dissolution, you will need to amend your forms.
