You have to find out if the court dismissed it if it did go to court and try to get it back on calendar. Easier to finish it up than have to find your spouse so you can reserve the paperwork. You may need help getting through the procedure

What will I have to give my wife in the divorce?

Rebecca A Rainwater
Answered by attorney Rebecca A Rainwater (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Landon Rainwater Robinson LLP
Your marriage is very short and you do not mention children. She probably would not receive spousal support due to the length of marriage. The community debts and assets need to be divided equally. Those things that were acquired from date of marriage to date of separation. Her student loans are all hers. If the community paid any of her student loans it probably has a right of reimbursement. To save time and money you may qualify for a Summary Dissolution. To qualify for a summary dissolution of your marriage you must meet ALL of the following requirements. You and your spouse: Have been married for less than 5 years (from the date you got married to the date you separated); Have no children together born or adopted before or during the marriage (and you are not expecting a new child now); Do not own any part of land or buildings; Do not rent any land or buildings (except for where you now live, as long as you do not have a 1-year lease or option to buy); Do not owe more than $6,000 for debts acquired since the date you got married (called "community obligations"); Do not count car loans. Have less than $38,000 worth of property acquired during the marriage. Do not count your cars. Do not have separate property worth more than $38,000. Do not count your cars. Agree that neither spouse will ever get spousal support; AND Have signed an agreement that divides your property (including your cars) and debts. In addition, if you are married, either you or your spouse must have lived in California for the last 6 months and in the county where you file for summary dissolution for the last 3 months. If you do not meet the residency requirement, you can still file for a legal separation but you have to go through the regular legal separation process, or wait until you meet the residency requirements for a divorce.

What are my rights if I want divorce?

It does not sound like you have many assets to divide. You have a marriage of long duration. Spousal support is based on your needs and his ability to pay. You would be allowed a portion of his retirement that accrued during the marriage. You would be entitled to child support if child under 18.
