Legal Question in Family Law in California
length of divorce procedure
If divorce papers are filed in October, how long does the entire procedure take, can it be ''postponed'',( for example on grounds of not missing work)- if there is a restraining order placed on one party can the postponement be ordered or still go through as first initialized?
When I call for a copy of complaint filed against someone for ''jumping'' me, why do they tell me I can't have one due to the nature of the crime? I was the victim and they never even told me the person was charged and sentenced to community service.

Re: length of divorce procedure
A divorce is going to take at least six months before it is final. It can be delayed for a wide variety of reasons, too many to list here. If you are the party that once the divorce to proceed in a timely manner, then you or your attorney needs to take the initiative to have the court set for trial.
I�m not qualified to answer your question on the criminal matter, so I leave that to someone else.
