You must wait 6 months from service of the Summons and Petition for Divorce in California before your Divorce can be Final.

You can, however, bifurcate your action.

This means you can divide your divorce action into two parts.

One part involves resolving all of the issues other than the "status" of being divorced, i.e. custody, support, division of assets etc. You can finish this part of your divorce as soon as you can resolve your issues. There is no time limit.

The second part of your divorce is resolving the status of being divorced and restoring your status to a single person. You have to wait the 6 months for this part of your divorce.

There is a 6-month cooling off period required after you file for divorce, according to Wallin & Klarich, A Law Corporation. So you will have to wait at least 6 months. After that, there are many factors that could change how fast your divorce is finalized.

Your best option is to have an attorney represent you so that your attorney can ensure all the proper steps are being taken in a timely manner and your divorce moves along quickly.

Call your local sherrif's department/police station and request your 'Rights of Habeus Corpus'--this constitutional provision allows spousal separation to occur in no less than a month.

Does California have a cooling off period for divorce?

Even in California it is up to the couple to agree to separate for awhile and not live together to be sure they want a divorce. If you both have any doubts about whether the marriage is able to be saved then separation is the way to go. If after a period of time one or both of you has met someone else or, you have decided you are no longer in love then one or both of you can file for divorce.
