Dissolution of Marriage - California

[s13t0ttz]

What is the name of your state? California, Divorce

My wife and I and getting a divorce. She decided that she wanted to serve me and the idea was that I wouldn’t contest and she would just handle it herself. Now, there is a case number and I’ve checked it online and I don’t understand what I’m looking at, if it’s right, etc. Below are the dates and items filed. Below that is one proceeding that we had to go to. Says Off calendar.

I’m basically trying to understand what’s going on. I don’t get why nothing has moved. Is there an error that you can see? We have no property, assets, children, etc. It’s probably one of the most straight forward divorces. From what I understand, there would be 6 months from the request to enter default, at which point a judgement could be made. She just emailed me and said it’s going to be another couple months. Is that right? Is there something wrong?

I’m just trying to get my data straight. I don’t understand it well enough to even do anything about it and it’s very frustrating. From the data below, what can you tell me? I just need STRAIGHT FACTS...

You should likely consult with an attorney about your matter...

Hi,

I see. Is it really so complicated that I need to do that? I just want to understand the process. I do not know what is ideal and what is not. That's all. I don't even know if there's a reason to get with an attorney. If there is, I don't see it. So I'm looking for education. I'm a religious worker so I don't make very much money.

Hi,
Thank you for the data. Notice the amount of time that mine has been in 02/11/2016 Request-Enter Default. Doesn't that seem odd? It seems like yours went really fast. Mine has been on the slow boat. Should I go to the courthouse and find out what is happening? What do you think is happening?
