How Do I Get a Divorce in California?

To file for divorce in California, at least one spouse must meet residency requirements:

  • Been a California resident for at least six months before filing
  • Lived in the county of filing for at least three months before filing

A divorce petition provides the court with basic details about your:

  • Marriage and children (if applicable)
  • Requests for custody, support, and property division

If you do not meet the residency requirements, you may still file for legal separation, which allows you to obtain orders for custody and support while waiting to meet the divorce residency requirement.

Because same-sex couples sometimes face unique legal complexities–such as parentage disputes and pre-marital cohabitation considerations–it is crucial to consult with an attorney experienced in LGBTQ family law issues who understands these nuances.
