How can we get an irreconcilable divorce with 8 years of marriage, no assets to split or kids?

Answered by attorney Gerard A. Fierro (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gerard A. Fierro & Associates
With an 8 year marriage, one spouse would have to file a regular dissolution on marriage. The default can proceed by default with only the filing spouse requesting the divorce and providing financial disclosure documents to the other. In your situation a default would be simpler than an uncontested divorce.

Where do I file for divorce?

Answered by attorney Babak Robert Farzad (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Farzad Family Law, A Professional Corporation
If he is a resident of California, then you can generally file here in California. You would file in the county in which he resides. A "resident" of the state means either person has a California domicile here for at least six months prior to filing the petition. That requires one of the spouses to have an actual residence in the state and an intent to remain here. These rules can get complicated so a formal consultation with an attorney is necessary. You didn't mention if you have any children or not. That can sometimes make an impact on the court's power to make orders as well. You may also be able to file in your own country but you would have to check your country's laws and whether California would recognize a divorce in your country if he challenges it later on. Such laws can have international impact and can get very complicated. Again, a formal consultation with an attorney will likely be necessary.

How soon can I remarry after a divorce?

Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
In California, after you file for Dissolution and have the other party served with those papers, you may become divorced no earlier than six months and one day from that point. However, that is the earliest that you are eligible for a divorce and assumes that all necessary paperwork has been completed and you've come to agreements or that you have had your trial. If you are still litigating certain issues (division of assets, division of debts, spousal support, child custody, visitation schedules, child support), and if it has been more than six months, you can also Petition the court by filing certain documents and request a Bifurcated Judgment relating to marital Status only, which will give you a Judgment restoring you to single status only, while continuing the case on all other issues. Once you have a Judgment (whether full or for marital status only), it will list the date on which you are single again and you may remarry anytime thereafter.
