Legal Question in Family Law in California
I am filing for a dissolution of marriage. There is a clause in the paperwork that states "the total amount of your community obligations cannot be more than $5000......Be sure you include any other debts you took on while you were living together as husband and wife." Does this mean all debts, even if we have never had any joint accounts and all our debts are completely separate? We have over $5000 in debt but under individual accounts. So can I still file for dissolution of marriage?

Yes it means total, all accounts. You can still file, but you cannot use the "Summary Dissolution" forms and process, you must use the regular dissolution forms and process.
