California Divorce | Amending Petition Will Set Aside Default

Today, we’re talking about default cases and when you amend your petition and the effect that has on your Divorce case.

So let me set up the scenario for you. Let’s assume we filed your Divorce and you served your Divorce case on the other party and you actually filed the default, a request in or default and the default was entered.

The effect of that obviously, is you kind of kick the other party on the case, and they can no longer respond unless they request to set aside or there are some other things they can do.

But for purposes of this video we wanted to let you know is, if you have filed the petition, it’s been served and you submit your request in to default and the default’s entered, if you amend your petition for whatever reason and I’ll give you scenario on why you might want to do that.

But if you amend your petition and file and you amend the petition, it removes that default from that case.

So in the past what we had to do if a default was entered, we had to have the respond into the other party filed a request to set aside the default and then once that occurs they can file their response.

But if the party’s are in agreement, and let’s say the default was entered but now you want to have an uncontested case or maybe the other party wants to get involved now, all you have to do is amend the petition, re-file it and reserve it.

And that will effectively remove the default from being part of the case so then the other party can respond where you guys can enter into what’s called a hybrid or a default with agreement type case.

So just keep that in mind. One thing to watch out for is if you once you make changes. So let’s assume you filed your petition and you ask for certain things and then you change your mind.

You’ll have to re-file and amend the petition which will remove that default and give the other party an opportunity to response. You got to be careful depending on which way you’ll do that.

So I just want to share that with folks. It’s something that we’ve roughly recently learned because we had a client who we are trying to do a set aside of the default.

We noticed in the case summary that an amended petition had been filed and served. So we just went in on with a response and they accepted the response despite being a requesting default entered on the case because once they amended the petition, it opened up the doors for the 30 day response window again.

So that’s the effectiveness of that. I’ll be happy to help you with your Divorce case anywhere in California.

We are a full service, so, we’ll take of everything for you with the courts. You can go on with your lives, 661-281-0266.

Feel free to give me a call. Thank you so much.

California Divorce | 60 Day Rule To File Financial Disclosures

Today, I want to talk to you about the 60 day rule on completing your financial disclosures. This is referring to your incoming expense declaration and your schedule of assets and debts.

We’ve been getting a lot of calls and even from some of our own clients who read the rule that basically says once you’ve filed your Divorce case or responded to the Divorce that you have 60 days to complete and serve your preliminary declaration of disclosures.

Again, this is incoming expense and schedule of assets and debts. And folks who have been concerned that the case would close or something negative will happen if they don’t complete the financial disclosures within that allotted 60 day period.

Now I have to say it is the rule. It is 60 day to complete your financial disclosures but when it comes to kind of going beyond the 60 days the only person who’s going to complain about it not being done it would be the other party or the other party’s attorney.

So it’s not something the court monitors. It’s not something that they’re keeping track of where they know when the case was filed and then they have a calendar event for 60 days to send you a letter or something.

The only person who is going to complain is the other party. So while it is there as a 60 day rule, the other party will essentially would have to complain to the court or file a motion to compel you to do your financial disclosures for that to move forward.

And the reason I bring that up is because we have been a lot of calls, people are concerned that because they didn’t do their financial disclosures within 60 days is the case going to be closed or are they going to get a nasty letter from the court which you might.

But we have cases that we’ve gone well beyond the 60 days just the folks who were working with us don’t give us the paperwork timely and nothing adverse happens.

So I just want to let people know that. So try to get down within 60 days, let the other person know if you’re not able to do it but don’t get and let it keep you up at night if you’re not able to get your financial disclosures done in the 60 days.

We’re a full service, Divorce Paralegal Firm serving all of California, please give us a call. I’ll be happy to help you with your Divorce case in California.

California Divorce – Cooperate With Home Sale During Divorce

In this video/article, we tell you more about hat you need to do when going through a divorce and how to deal with home sale. Kindly watch this video for more information.

Tim: Have you run into any common things or aspects that people should be aware of? UCPD like, ‘Okay, this keeps happening.’

Connor: Yes.

Tim: That people like you can kind of give them heads up on.

Connor: Yes. One party usually is the saint but it’s usually not the person saying they’re the saint. So the other party’s usually the horrible one.

The more difficult one to deal with I should say. So that seems to be a very common thing.

People have their own perceptions of how they are. And with Real Estate, another common thing is blame.

So while you might have one party that just wants to get out and get away, you’re having the other party that wants to do everything they can.

They either forward the deal or mess it up or cause an issue with it. And even though at the beginning they said that’s how they wanted it to be.

Things change.

Tim: Yes.

Connor: You have time to think, you sit there and I’m going to adore that if somebody comes to us after we’ve gone through whatever it is to lease the property and get a market and speak with all parties, get mutual agreements.

Tim: Yes.

Connor: Even if somebody says, ‘You know we don’t want this to go through.’ It does take two people. It takes both.

Tim: Sure.

Connor: Unless the court says you have to or some other legal mechanism.

California Divorce – When Is It Time To Contact A Realtor

Tim: So one of the things I want to talk about today was the options people have when how to deal with their property when they’re going through Divorce.

What are their options and what are the plus and minuses of each? But the first thing, I want to talk about is consulting with the real estate agent.

That should probably something that is done early on in the process, right? Kind of get this information about a written agreement that’s fine they even know.

That’s great coming to an agreement and coming to the terms on appraisal or even deciding on an agent to use.

Connor: It’s funny a bankruptcy attorney said something really valuable when I was speaking with him and we just came out of this speed foreclosure short sale market.

And I asked him, I said, ‘So when should somebody call you like in your Paralegal Services with Divorce the same answer is going to apply, same with the Real Estate Agent, when should they call you?’

He said, ‘At the very first sleepless night. Whatever it is Divorce, Bankruptcy, issue with the house or the kids, that’s when they should first contact me.’

So at the very beginning whenever you’re just speaking about Divorce that first sleepless night they should be making a few phone calls, talking to the Paralegal to get the Divorce started if in fact that’s what they decide.

And at least sitting down with an agent and getting a game plan together, so, they can explain to you how the process is going to play out.

We’re not there at that initial meeting to sign.

Tim: Yes.

Connor: And a lot of times couples don’t want to be together. That’s another thing that should be asked by a Real Estate Agent because some of them they get together.

And it’s like throwing a chlorine and oil. I mean the thing just goes nuts and boils up and everything else.

Tim: Yes.

Connor: But yes, if that first sleepless is when they should at least one of the parties.

Tim: So early on the process is about where to go?

Connor: And then it’s going to be. And another thing too Tim, is it’s not going to be a fast process because in that particular point they haven’t even decided.

Tim: Right!

Connor: And I would say probably 70% or 80% of that point aren’t even going to go with it, at least within the next year.

And there’s going to be periods of working that out and going to this sort of this honeymoon stage.

Tim: No!

Connor: Now we’re back in the same crap that we were before and he promised to change or she promised and so on.

Tim: Yes!

California Divorce – Can Parties Agree To Keep House And Sell Later

Connor: The same thing with a quick claim deed.

Tim: Yes, it’s going along.

Connor: Yes, other people and that’s another thing too. Some people are misadvising their clients or in Real Estate and say, well, you can pull the spouse off with the quick claim deed.

Tim: Yes.

Connor: But that doesn’t fix it with the loan.

Tim: No!

Connor: So the cleanest break you would ever had, would be just get rid of it, sell it.

Tim: Or refinance it completely out.

Connor: Absolutely! If one of the party is capable and one of them wants to stay in the house, absolutely!

Tim: I have to say, we’ve had a lot of clients just of financial reasons, quick claim off the house and just take the risk of being on the loan.

And just because they don’t want to short sale and ruin their credit and the mortgage were still a lot less than—you know what I mean?

Connor: Sure.

Tim: That they can make that mortgage payment, the other spouse staying in there. And so the credit and they could stay in there.

But I’m telling you the risk is that if they default, you need to come up with some way of making sure that, that payment would be made either they send you a copy of checks being cashed or some way of verifying just trust your ex to do the right thing.

Connor: Some people I have to look at my own situation. At this point, I would trust my wife of 23 years probably.

Tim: Most likely!

Connor: Yes, most likely to do that. And again, there’s a lot relationships. I know you see it too.

Tim: Yes.

Connor: I mean the spouses are so friendly, it’s almost weird. It’s like they’re both about to give released it from prison.

And they’re willing to do whatever it takes. And there’s no argument at all. But I think that’s the smaller part of the people that get Divorced.

Tim: Yes. Alright, let’s talk about keeping the existing mortgage and letting in your spouse stay. We kind of attest on this a little bit.

We actually attest on it a lot. If the spouse stays in the house, it was not refinancing just staying on that same mortgage, there’s that risk involved.

Connor: And the other things too, let’s say there’s only one party that’s on the loan maybe the other spouse could consider writing up a lease agreement for them.

Actually doing it official, but it’s a sticky situation.

Tim: I don’t know. Make sure we understand that.

Connor: Well, let’s say one of –

Tim: Oh, the one who’s on the loan!

Connor: Absolutely!

Tim: Makes lease to the other.

Connor: They could write up an official agreement stating this is what the monthly amounts going to be. This is when it’s due. This is your part of the obligation with the up keeping the house.

You’re not to sub that rooms, whatever that maybe to try to supplement income because now instead of one eviction, if that’s the way it happens to go and see that’s your enforcement mechanism in contract –

Tim: Got you!

Connor: Instead of one, now all of a sudden if they’re renting rooms out to five or six different people, that’s a $50,000 bill all day long to get all these folks out.

Tim: Yes, we’ve seen that happened once. Now we don’t get those types of crazy cases in our office but we’ve had people to do that.

It is funny when you’re just talking, you remind of a certain scenarios when we had someone, both on the home, both on the—you drop your mic?

Connor: Yes.

Tim: Both on the home and both on the loan and title and one spouse had moved out. The other one stopped paying the mortgage.

And so it was in default. Then they filed bankruptcy, so, we could delay it even further.

And all the while, renting out all the rooms and sections of the living room, he had like six people paying them 500-600 bucks a month.

So he’s making 3,000 or 4,000 a month.

Connor: Wow!

Tim: A month and not paying mortgage.

Connor: What a nightmare!

Tim: Until the last we heard in two years he’d been doing this. So it’s just crazy.

And all the while we get the spouse versus team who got the judgment to sell the house. And now he’s squatting and he won’t move out.

So we got those types of issues as well. So alright, let’s see what else we got here.

Oh, I want to talk about evaluation.
