Legal Question in Family Law in California

This is a California Family Law question. My ex and I filed a Summary Dissolution. I filed under Civil Code 473 to vacate.

In his trial statement, ex's attorney admitted we were ineligible for Summary Dissolution because ex owned property and all is set aside except the status of the marriage. Does this restore my right to support because the action is now still pendent?

The only thing that is terminated still is the status it appears. Therefore you would still have a right to request spousal support, unless the court terminated that issue. However if your marriage was a short one, then you should not expect to receive much support at all.

For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.

As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
