007 DMR | Why Preparing Your California Divorce Judgment Is Difficult

In this episode we discuss the issues associated with attempting to complete your divorce on your own in California. Specifically, we discuss the issues you will face when attempting to complete your divorce judgment.

The judgment is the last thing you will file with the court and will prove to be the most difficult. Not only because there are a lot of forms and the forms are confusing,  but because this will be the first time anyone at the court actually looks at any of your documents and reviews them.

If you make even one simple mistake on your divorce judgment, the court will reject the entire case and send everything back to you.  This can have a significant delay on when your divorce is actually finalized, because it generally takes the court at least a couple of months to review your case each time you submit the judgment.

Here is a brief list of some of the reasons why your California divorce judgment might get rejected:

  1. You missed a check box
  2. Wrong forms
  3. You didn’t follow procedure
  4. Not enough copies of forms sent to court
  5. Missing forms
  6. Didn’t include postage on the necessary envelopes
  7. Didn’t include any envelopes
  8. Didn’t notarize the Judgment
  9. Asked for something in Judgment, you didn’t ask in the Petition

As you can see, there are some really ridiculous reasons the court will reject your judgment.  We go into more detail on these rejection reasons, and more, but what we want you to take from it is that it does not take much to get your divorce file rejected.

004 DMR Why Transparency In Home Sale Process During California Divorce Is Important

004 DMR Why Transparency In Home Sale Process During California Divorce Is Important

In this podcast we discuss why it is important to have transparency when selling your home when you are going through a divorce in California.

When you are going through a divorce in California, you may not be on the best speaking terms.  But it is important that you do communicate so you can make decisions such as selling your home, among others.

But where the parties are not communicating well, there are ways a real estate agent can assist you and you spouse get through the California home sale process, even when going through a divorce.

In this podcast, we discuss some of these ways.  For instance, a Realtor who is working part of a team or who has a team of agents working with them can assign each of the parties a separate real estate agent who can be their advocate and handle all the communication.

This would prevent the parties from having to get different real estate agents, which in and of itself would be a total nightmare and probably not be feasible at all anyways.

Real estate agents can even use technology to help the parties sign the sales contracts.  Programs such as DocuSign allow the parties to sign many of the real estate documents which can be done right on your computer and even be done separately.

I know we use Docusign quite a bit in for our California divorce clients that we are assisting remotely throughout California.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as it has tremendous value if you are going through a divorce in California and need to sell your home.
