Legal Question in Family Law in California
In February 2014, my ex and I went before a judge and dissolution of the marriage was ordered. It is now mid June 2014 and the Notice of Entry of Judgement has never been filed. My ex is dragging his feet, coming up with one excuse after the other as to why he hasn't filed the judgement. My questions: Are we still legally married? And what happens if neither of us ever file the Notice of Entry of. Judgement? Thank you for your assistance.

The notice of entry of judgment and the judgment are two separate documents. The notice of entry of judgment is just that - notice that judgment was entered. It is not clear whether or not you have a judgment, or were supposed to submit a proposed judgment along with a notice of entry of judgment form to the court for processing. The rules of court provide that if one party fails to submit the documents, the other party should do it. But again, you are not clear on whether you already have a judgment entered or not.
