Why Your California Divorce Papers Are Being Rejected

Today, I want to talk to you about if you’re watching this video the way I’ve titled this is if you’ve probably filed for Divorce in California and you’ve had your Divorce judgment rejected once, twice maybe multiple times.

I think the record I’ve heard so far is six times being rejected over two year period by people trying to prepare their own Divorce.

So I want to just comment on that. It’s not just you.

We get a lot of calls every about folks who are having trouble getting their judgment through the system.

They have filed for Divorce. They think they’ve completed all the steps. And then when they turn it all the paperwork it gets rejected.

And the problem with that is it could take a month up to three months sometimes before it gets rejected.

All the while you think everything is fine.

So the biggest issue and I want to express why you’re getting it rejected multiple times is this, when you submit your judgment number one it’s the first time anyone in the court is looking at anything you filed including your petition.

They’re looking at it if the process was filed correctly, if the procedure was filed correctly, if you serve correctly.

And that’s where they’re going to check and make sure you’ve done I’s and you’ve cross the T’s.

It’s the first time anyone ever looks to your paperwork. So anything could be wrong from the very day you started to file your case.

Number two is because they are reviewing so many judgments what they often do will find one reason to reject your judgment or any part of it.

They’ll fill up the rejection sheet and they’ll send it back to you. So you’ll get that back in the mail.

You will make that correction think you’re good to go. You send it back in long envelope you get it back again with another rejection.

I had a call just yesterday exact the same scenario and again we get these calls all the time.

Her case was rejected three times. And she said, ‘Well these fixes seem easy.’

And I said, ‘Let me guess what’s happening. And they keep rejecting it for different reasons.’

She said yes. And I expressed one of the reason is they just find a reason and reject it.

So she’s going to attempt to do it again. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the money for our services.

And I told her just to go through and review everything. That’s what we do as a service.

Many people come to us for us to fix their judgment and what we do is we don’t just say that’s correct what’s on the judgment sheet.

We will go through your entire case from start to finish from day 1 from checking your petition to checking your proof of service up to checking your financial disclosures and go through your entire judgment before we will resubmit it for you.

And we’ll do that with great success. If we just went off the judgment sheet and fix what they stated we’ll have the same problem you did.

So our suggestions if you’re going to continue trying to submit your judgment go through your entire case from start to finish.

Don’t just fix the one issue that they’ve found. Otherwise we will recommend calling us.

We can fix your case. We can go through the entire thing. We do what’s called a judgment review.

We go through all the paperwork that’s filed from start to finish.

That way we can find any errors and we often find multiple additional errors than the court has noted because they’re just rejecting it for that single issue and not going further in to your case.

So please call us if you need help with getting your case finished at any point in your Divorce.

We can pick up where you left off. We can fix rejected judgments.

That’s what we do. That’s our specialty.

California Divorce Don’t Wait 6 Months To File Your Final Divorce Papers

Today, we’re answering the question I think I’ve answered multiple times but I still get a lot of phone calls is, do you have to wait six months to submit your paperwork to the court your final paperwork.

So in the matter of process you’ll file, you’ll serve, you’ll do a preliminary declarations of disclosures and then you’ll complete your judgment.

Well a lot of people are calling and asking about is, do we have to wait until six months to turn everything in and the answer is no.

Depending on what style divorce should do and if you’re doing a hybrid where there’s no response but both parties are involved or you’re doing a default in any of those styles of divorce is you have to wait at least 31 days so it’s 30.

We just add on an extra day just to be safe. But you have to wait 30 days to file your default and therefore you could file your judgment at the same time which we just did a video on as well.

So file, serve 30 days later after all of course all the other process and procedures had been done you can turn on all your paperwork in after that 30^th day after being served.

And on the benefits to doing that is because the courts are so busy its taking them anywhere from 30-60-90 sometimes as long as six months to review and approve your paperwork.

So we like with our clients when we file a case we like to get everything done inside the 30 days, turn it all in as quickly as possible.

And we will get the case back signed by the judge before the six months is even over.

And then that’ll just be a future effective date of the divorce on the single status.

So just to be clear you do not have to wait six months to turn all your paperwork in and of course you can if it takes that long to get through your paperwork.

There is no minimum timeframes.

There are some processes and procedures that you’re supposed to get done with in terms of times otherwise the court might send you a notice about a hearing because you’re not moving quickly enough.

But again, turning your paperwork after 30 days after service and you get your divorce done a lot quicker.

File Divorce Judgment With Default California Divorce

Today, we’re talking about how to file your judgment so your divorce judgment will be your final paperwork with the default.

So if you’re going through Divorce you’re probably aware that if once filed and the other party served that there’s 30 days to file a response.

And what people are doing we find is they are filing their default in 30 days and but not the judgment.

And what I want to let you know in this video is that you can file your judgment with the default all at the same time.

So first when we’re completing a case, we’ll file and serve. And then during those 30 days we’ll be completing all the other financial disclosures for both the parties.

And we’ll do their preliminary declaration of disclosure for both of them, get that filed and served. And we’ll even put together the judgment.

So this is when we’re doing a hybrid divorce. Hybrid means we’re going to have both parties involved but we’re not going to have the other party respond.

One of the benefit, you save money because the party not responding doesn’t have to pay the court fees.

So it’ll save you a bunch of money there.

So what we’ll do in those 30 days is we put everything together, get all the signatures and at that 31 day mark after the date of service we submit the judgment and the request the default literally everything and we’re done.

And at that point it’s just a matter of waiting for the court to review and approve everything.

And as a matter of process what the court will do is they’ll first pull out the file. They’ll take a look and make sure everything was done correctly procedurally.

And they will then enter the default and they want all your judgment. And usually that’s done on the same day.

So it’s just a quick way to streamline your divorce. You don’t have to wait up to six months to submit your judgment.

And you don’t have to submit your default separate from your judgment when you’re sending in your documents.

I hope that was helpful. Please call us if you like us to assist you with your Divorce.

We can step in at any point whether you just started or you’ve gone all the way through judgment and then you hit problems we can take over, fix anything any issues that have been wrong, review everything and re-submit your paperwork.
