Legal Question in Family Law in California

Uncontested divorce

Hello,

I need help in deciding which forms to use: dissolution or summary dissolution. If I owed property greater $32,000, then it looks like I can't use summary dissolution to file my divorce. We have no children. We've been married less than 5 years. We have no disagreements in how we want to divide everything. I want to use the simpler forms, but, because I owed property, I don't know if filing a summary dissolution would be ok. The property is in my name. She signed a quit claim deed after we were separated. Is this still considered community property? All of our debts are totally separate. Nothing is in both of our names. We want this divorce to be over as soon as possible. Please show me how I need to file my divorce, w/o, dragging on too long. Thank you very much.

Based upon the information you have provided, you do not qualify for a summary dissolution.

You might consider finding a qualified paralegal to assist you with the forms as a cost saving measure. We offer attorney supervised paralegal assistants for self represented individuals.

Good luck to you!
