In short, yes, you can get divorced without going to court in California if your case is uncontested. An uncontested case means that both parties agree on all significant issues, such as property division, custody, and child support.
If you don't file an answer within 28 days, the court will assume you agree with everything your spouse states and award a "default judgment." If there are important reasons you need more time, for example, if you need to get a lawyer or you're in the hospital, you can request additional time.
When your spouse refuses to accept divorce papers in California, you have three legal options: personal service with documentation, substituted service to another adult, or publication in a local newspaper.
Service by Publication An uncooperative spouse may try to delay a divorce by avoiding being served with divorce papers. A solution to this problem is to request service by publication under the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 4.4.

Check Court Records: Visit the local family court or its website where you live. Many jurisdictions provide online access to court records, allowing you to search for divorce filings by name. Contact the Clerk of Court: You can directly call or visit the clerk's office at the family court.
