Parties may 1) use these documents and represent themselves “pro se” (that is, without the assistance of an attorney) 2) use these documents and seek legal review and advice from a licensed attorney in the state; or 3) use these documents and obtain legal counsel to assist with the legal action in the circumstance that the other spouse may have hired an attorney.  \nDIVORCE IN CALIFORNIA  \nA divorce is a legal proceeding that dissolves a marriage. In California, the phrase \"dissolution of marriage\" means the same as \"divorce\". All of the legal rights and relationship as husband and wife that were created by the marriage are ended when a Judge signs the divorce decree. It is a relatively simple matter if the parties agree to divorce, but if only one party wants a divorce, or there are outstanding issues of custody, support, the division of property, debt, etc. , the Court in most cases will not grant a divorce decree until those issues are resolved.  \nCONTACTING TECHNICAL SUPPORT  \nIf you encounter technical problems, please e-mail us by using the Support link within our web site. If you purchased this service from a law firm, and you have legal questions that require legal advice, please contact your attorney via your secure MyLegalAffairs ™ web space or as indicated at the law firm’s web site.  \nASSISTANCE FROM THE COURT  \nCalifornia Courts provide access to Family Law Facilitators – these are Court officers or attorneys who are available for free limited assistance. If you have difficulty completing a document or understanding a topic related to this divorce, contact or visit the family law facilitator in your Court.  \nPREPARED AND UNPREPARED DOCUMENTS  \nDue to the specific filing requirements and procedures described below, several sets of documents must be prepared by both the Petitioner and Respondent. It will be the responsibility of the Petitioner to provide such sets of blank documents to the Respondent. In order to make the blank documents available to both you and your spouse, the documents in this secondary file are blank or mostly-blank. Likewise, some of the details in the documents will depend on how you chose to serve your spouse and how he or she responded (if at all) . As such, these details are obviously not available until the filing process is well underway, and therefore cannot be completed initially.  \nIn short, some documents may contain little or no information, while others will be prepared already in full. As such, you will often need to add personal details to your version of the documents in ink, before sending documents to your spouse or filing documents with the Court. Blank copies for your spouse to prepare will also need to be provided, as needed and described below.  \nUNCONTESTED ACTIONS ONLY  \nThese documents are designed to allow the parties to represent themselves in Court, for uncontested divorce actions only – where there is no dispute over issues. If you anticipate that you and your spouse will not be able to come to an agreement on the involved issues, or if your spouse has retained an attorney to contest any part of the divorce, you should obtain licensed legal representation for yourself.  \nRESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS  \nBy California law, at least one of the parties must meet each of the following three requirements:  \n􀁸 Current resident of the county where the action is being filed, and  \n􀁸 Resident of that county for at least the last three (3) months, and  \n􀁸 Resident of California for at least the last six (6) months.  \nCOUNTY VARIA","cbCailG7rtp44KGz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailG7rtp44KGz","pdf",312688,35,"English","# PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT\n# DIVORCE IN CALIFORNIA\n# CONTACTING TECHNICAL SUPPORT\n# ASSISTANCE FROM THE COURT\n# PREPARED AND UNPREPARED DOCUMENTS\n# UNCONTESTED ACTIONS ONLY\n# RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS\n# COUNTY VARIATIONS\n# Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA)\n# Parenting Plan","[{\"question\":\"Who are these uncontested divorce documents intended for?\",\"answer\":\"They are for couples who can represent themselves in court for uncontested divorce actions, with no dispute over the issues.
