In this episode, we’re talking about Stipulations. And specifically, drafting a child support Stipulation.

Stipulations briefly, I’ve talked about a lot. And we’ve done a lot of these.

But there have been some changes recently to what the courts are looking for as far as the language in the Stipulation. You can enter into a Stipulation at any point in your Divorce. It can be before the Divorce is finalized or it can be a post judgment after you’ve been Divorce.

Today we’re talking about why it doesn’t matter where you were married for purposes of getting divorced.

When it comes to divorce, it’s basically a jurisdictional issue as far as California is concerned, if you’ve lived in the state for six months and in the county for three months, that is the court that you would file in.

So, if you live in Los Angeles County and you’ve been in the state for more than six months and the county for more than three, you would file your divorce in LA County.

In this episode, we’re talking about the importance of having the information on your forms identical throughout the divorce process.

As you’re filling out your divorce forms, it’s important that your name specifically, on how you list your name in the summons and the petition remain the same all the way through.

What you want to do is when you start your divorce and on the summons and petition, whatever name you start with you’ll going to want to use that throughout the divorce. So, if my name is Tim S. Blankenship, I would want to use exactly that on all summons and petition.

During the process of divorce or after your divorce is concluded, you and your spouse can turn into an agreement and this is what a stipulation is.

Stipulations are useful if you are trying to get some type of temporary order. Maybe the court needs an evidence of income and they want to see some type of court order, showing that you are making some income. You could do that on stipulation.

In this episode, what we will talk about is how to use the property order attachment form FL-345 for your California divorce. We will discuss everything about form FL-345 or the property order attachment.

What we are starting to see is a trend with the courts here that they now wanted to see a property order attachment even if there is no property. in the past we can get away with just marking on the judgment that we don’t have a property to be disposed by the court. but now we started to see a trend of judgment coming back with the court asking that we include a property order and simply saying none in there.

In this episode, we will talk about what you can do if you receive a notice of case review default letter for your California divorce.

We have been talking about the courts sending out notice of case review default letters. What we are seeing is that when your California divorce case has sat with the court for a while, but has not finished yet, the court will review the California divorce case to see if it can be concluded by default.

A default is when the other party does not file a response and is not participating in the case. So if the court sees that a few months have gone by and the Petitioner has not already field the request to enter default form, the court will send out a letter notifying the Petitioner that they need to appear at a hearing to determine if your case should proceed as a default case.
