Legal Question in Family Law in California

You can proceed with a marital dissolution. I think your question is asking about a summary dissolution. Sorry, you can only be married less than 5 years for that. It's OK because, if you and your spouse are agreeable to the terms of the dissolution, the process can go very smoothly.

Just to give you an idea of how simple it can be, I have done marital dissolutions that cost six-figures in legal fees and costs. I have also done dissolutions, where there are no disputes, for about $3500, including all the filing fees.

The process requires a lot of paperwork, disclosures, petition, and many other documents. I suggest that you contact someone who will handle it, without charging too much money.
