San Diego Divorce Attorneys | Carlsbad Mediation Lawyers: Zonder Family Law

Answer:  Generally, a divorce cannot be granted until at least six months after the other spouse is notified of the filing of the petition.  Neither party can remarry legally until after that date.  The attorneys (or spouses, if they are acting as their own attorneys) have to prepare a number of papers for the judge to review and sign in order for the divorce to become final.  An attorney should be consulted for more specific information.  Contact our office at 760-944-5529 or toll free at 866-632-6459 to speak with our lead counsel, Lisa R.
