How Long Does Divorce Take in California?
In California, the shortest possible timeline for a divorce is six months, which starts from the date your spouse is officially served with divorce papers. But here’s the truth: most divorces take longer than that.
If you and your spouse agree on everything—like how to divide property, handle custody, and manage support—you may be able to finalize things soon after that six-month mark. However, if there are disputes or complications, it can take several months or even over a year to reach a resolution.
What can affect how long your divorce will take?
- How much you and your spouse agree on (or don’t)
- Whether children, real estate, or significant assets are involved
- How busy the local family court is
- Whether one side is delaying or unwilling to cooperate
We understand how frustrating it can be to feel like your life is in limbo. That’s why at RM Law Group LLP, we work hard to keep the process moving forward, resolving issues without ever compromising your rights or future.
Will I Lose My Parenting Rights?
This is one of the most painful and common fears parents face during a divorce or custody dispute—and it’s a valid concern. But here’s what you need to know: in most cases, the court’s goal isn’t to take away your parenting rights—it’s to create a plan that protects your child’s best interests.
So, what does that look like?
When deciding custody, California judges consider several factors, including:
- The child’s safety and emotional well-being
- The ability of each parent to provide a stable home
- Each parent’s involvement in the child’s life
- Any history of abuse, neglect, or substance use
- The child’s bond with each parent—and sometimes, their own preferences (especially if they’re older)
The court usually leans toward shared custody or ongoing involvement from both parents, unless there’s a clear reason not to. Losing full custody or visitation rights typically only happens if the court believes the child could be at risk.
Will I Have to Pay Spousal Support?
It depends, and that uncertainty can feel really stressful. Spousal support, also called alimony, isn’t automatic in every divorce, but it is common when one spouse earns significantly more than the other or when there’s a big gap in financial stability after the marriage ends.
If you’re the higher earner, you may be asked to help support your spouse for a period of time. But that support isn’t meant to be permanent in most cases—it’s there to help the other person get back on their feet.
On the other hand, if you’ve been financially dependent on your spouse, you may be entitled to support that allows you to maintain stability while you adjust.
