Marriage Petition Response

Posted on October 25, 2019February 11, 2020 by Editor

Marriage Petition Response

A marriage petition response is used by one spouse who has been served with divorce papers by the other spouse.

Ending the Relationship

Either spouse in a marriage or partner in a registered domestic partnership can ask the court to end their legal relationship.  If you have been served with a petition and summons for dissolution (divorce) or legal separation, your spouse or domestic partner is asking the court to end your relationship.  In California, as long as one person wants to end the marriage or domestic partnership, the court can end it, even if the other spouse or domestic partner does not agree or want to get divorced or legally separated.

Ending the Marital Status

A married couple or registered domestic partners can end their marital status in California six months after the first papers are filed at the courthouse and copies of these papers are served on you, the respondent.
