Legal Question in Family Law in California
CLose an open divorce case
I am the respondant in a Divorce case thas was filed a few year ago. I am not able to get a final resolution,due to the petitioner's missing paperwork. I am not able to find the petitioner. Is there any way I can get this case closed and refile in the county I live in. the case currently is in ElDorado couny and I live in Sacramento County.

In a general sense, as the Respondent, you can not dismiss the case without filing, serving and prevailign in a motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution or some other legal theory.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
