Does anyone know in California how long it takes from the time she files that I get served?
sorry to hear about your situation.
just to let you know: "filing", and "being served" are technically two very different things. you can technically file for divorce, yet never serve notice. there is a 6 month minimum waiting for final disolution, from *date of serving the papers*.
being served papers after the initial filing, can take anywhere up to a week, unfortunately. they have to schedule it into a long waiting list of people getting divorced in california
PS: if you really want to know if she filed or not.. go call the courthouse and ask if there has been any divorce filing in the last few days, on, "marriage of [your last name]".
its a matter of public record. only thing is, you have to get the "right" courthouse, probably. there may be multiple ones in your area. you need to go call your nearest few "superior court"s.
Unfortunately.. i wouldnt doubt that she filed, judging by her behaviour.
My current status: june 2006. Wife ran out and filed D. Finalized Jan 11, 2010, after 12.5 years M. 3 wonderful sons caught in the middle
