Legal Question in Family Law in California

Uncontested Divorce and Settlement Agreement

Hi-

I'd filed a default against my wife since she did not file a response. She did not contributed anything to our marriage. I am paying for everything. And I am the only one on the title. Do I need to have a marital settlement agreement on the day of the hearing? We both agreed on all issues. Is the grant deed good enough during the hearing? Thanks.

A grant deed is good, but a marital settlement agreement is better for the judge. There are some issues with respect to a grant deed that could prevent the court from making the determination that there has been an equal division of community property. Good Luck, Pat McCray
