Filing Divorce In California
Summary
To file for divorce in Texas, one spouse must reside there for at least 6 months and in the filing county for 90 days. Since you live in California, you likely dont meet Texas residency requirements. In California, divorce has a mandatory 6-month waiting period, but mediation can expedite the process. Mediation involves a neutral party helping both spouses agree on issues, potentially reducing the timeline to 2-6 months if uncontested. Costs vary, typically $150-$300 per hour. For local mediators, contact the Yuba Sutter Mediation Center or check online directories.Full Conversation

Yes I would like more info. Is there a way to make this process faster?

Lets say I go with a mediator, whats the process and why is it "faster"?
Hi Dominic,
Mediation often speeds up the divorce process because:
- **Direct Communication:** It facilitates direct discussion between parties, leading to faster resolutions.
- **Flexible Scheduling:** Sessions can be scheduled more flexibly than court dates.
- **Reduced Conflict:** Mediators help manage conflicts, promoting quicker agreements.
- **Avoid Court Delays:** Bypassing court procedures shortens the overall timeline.

I need more info. I'm sure it does the counseling and what not. How does it make it faster? if my spouse and I just want away from each other than what does the mediator do legally to make it faster?
Hi Dominic,
To clarify, mediation can expedite the divorce process by:
- **Facilitating Agreements:** Mediators help you and your spouse reach mutual agreements on divorce terms, reducing the need for prolonged court battles.
- **Drafting Agreements:** They assist in drafting the final agreement, which can then be submitted to the court for faster approval.

That makes sense. So lets compare, if we went to a mediator, how fast could the divorce go rather than filing for divorce ourselves?
Hi Dominic,
Mediation can significantly shorten the divorce process compared to filing for divorce on your own. Here are some general points:
- **Mediation:** Typically *-6 months, depending on the complexity and cooperation.
- **Traditional Court Process:** Usually takes 6 months to over a year due to court schedules and potential disputes.

lets say we agree on everything and its simple cut and dry. Is it possible its super fast?
Hi Dominic,
Yes, if both parties agree on all terms and it's straightforward, mediation can be very quick. It can take just a few weeks to finalize everything, assuming no unforeseen complications. The mediator will help draft the agreement, which can then be submitted to the court for approval. Would you like any further information?
