Understanding the Divorce Process in San Diego
When you and your spouse have reached the decision to proceed with a divorce, one of you must file a petition with the San Diego County Superior Court, stating the grounds for the dissolution of the marriage, such as irreconcilable differences. After filing, the other spouse is then served with the divorce papers and has 30 days to respond. Then, each spouse must complete and serve a financial disclosure packet called a Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure.
These steps are the same in all divorce cases. The remainder of the steps to conclusion of a divorce case vary by situation and will be discussed in detail with our attorneys at the outset of your case.
If both spouses can agree on one or more key issues like child custody, property division, and spousal support, the process can be less adversarial and may be able to be resolved without going to court.
However, if you cannot reach an agreement, the court will intervene and make decisions on your behalf. San Diego encourages alternative dispute resolution methods to promote amicable settlements, but when necessary, a judge will make final decisions in the best interests of all parties involved. The divorce process in San Diego is different for everyone, because each situation is unique. It’s important to know that the timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the case and court caseloads.
