Though I never known why, but attorneys advise women to file after. As a result, January is the month with the highest number of divorce filings. The peak month for men is June, right after Father's Day.

If i filed a joint bankruptcy with my husband primarily for his benefit but now are filing for divorce can i request to have my name removed or the bankruptcy dismissed?
Filing is NOT something you do for your spouses benefit. I'm not sure why you would think you did. Filing is not needed, nor normally a benefit in any way for someone, certainly both parties, going through a divorce would do. In fact, a divorce can frequently really resolve the finances without BK. "Getting your name off", is a what do you mean. If you are bankrupt, your name is on it. You can virtually always have your case dismissed voluntarily Married couples do NOT have to both file. Get a lawyer to assist you today. In both the BK and the Divorce.
What are the benefits from abolishing divorce?
The main benefit if divorce would be abolished is that people would think more before they ever got married. Today, more people get married without thinking it through completely.
Can a CA resident get a divorce in another state?
Yes. I am not sure from your question whether you, a CA resident, would be filing for divorce in another state or whether your ex-spouse is filing for divorce in another state. Either way, divorces filed in other state are valid so long as they comport with the divorce laws of that particular state. One of the main requirements in most jurisdictions is a residency requirement, so that the person seeking divorce must be a legal resident of the state before he or she can obtain a divorce there. Put differently, you or your ex-spouse (whichever one is filing for the divorce) must be a resident of the state they are filing for the divorce in. However, this requirement is sometimes quite short, as low as six weeks.
In divorce proceedings what affect would it have on the court to discover that one partner got engaged to someone else before filing for divorce?
In all likelihood, the likelihood is "no effect at all". But there are differences in the laws from state to state, so it is wise to discuss this with a divorce lawyer.

What can be done regarding someone filing a divorce in 2 different states?
Residency must be established in any state in which a persons choose to marry or divorce. Assuming the divorce was granted it would only be legal in the state in which it was first filed. Any subsequent filing(s) would be considered invalid. In some cases the fraudulent second filing could possibly be used to cancel the original one, but implementing such an action could prove legally complicated and expensive. In many cases the action is attempted in the hopes that a spouse will get "a better deal". However, the law simply doesn't work that way. The state where marital property is held or marital debts are incurred is the one whose laws will take precedence. Nor would a multiple filing supercede laws pertaining to a required period of separation before dissolution of the marriage or a waiting period for a remarriage.
