Getting a divorce in California Getting a divorce takes at least 6 months.
If you and your spouse file in different California counties, it will matter not who filed first but who gets the other spouse served first. That determines which county's Superior Court will handle the case. But once the court is determined, the two parties have the same procedural rights.
You can get a divorce even if the other person doesn't want one. You can divorce to end a marriage or domestic partnership. A legal separation has a similar process, you can use these instructions. You need different instructions for an annulment.
A spouse can file for divorce without the knowledge or consent of the other spouse, but cannot proceed until their spouse is served with the papers. In California a party has 60 days to serve a complaint without explaining to the court why it hasn't been served.
