Legal Question in Family Law in California

divorce

My boyfriend filed for divorce in CA, which should be final in August 2004. The ex was served on 2-14-04. He is attempting to gain sole custody of his 5 y/o son who lives in Utah at this time. The mother is attempting to revoke his parental rights so that the child can be adopted by her non-blood related cousins in Utah. My boyfriend's attorney says she won't be successful in that endeavor, but stated the court would be more favorable to granting him sole custody if we were married due to the fact that Utah law favors placing a child in a ''married'' household. Is there anyway to legally marry sooner than August in this situation? Is it possible to have the remaining time waived due to the circumstances? Thank you for your time in this matter.

Re: divorce

No the 6 month waiting period is required by statute, and cannot be waived or shortened.
