I'm afraid you still have to go through a divorce. There is an expedited divorce process that might apply to you. It is still a full divorce case, however. I suggest you pick up a copy of "How to Do Your Own Divorce In California" by Nolo Press. Following the instructions in that book may be all you need. If you need more help or have further questions then you'll need to call a family law attorney.
