Legal Question in Family Law in California
I am asking about Calif. Family Divorce Law.
We both live in Japan and were Calif. residents before.
The Family court will grant us a divorce but they want a copy of the section of Calif law
that says it is Okay or legal.
Thank you

That sounds pretty strange to me.
"A judgment of dissolution of marriage may not be entered unless one of the parties to the marriage has been a resident of this state for six months and of the county in which the proceeding is filed for three months next preceding the filing of the petition." (Fam. Code, sect. 2320.)

Mr. Roach is correct. If you have not lived in California for the past six months, you cannot get a California divorce.
