| | | Nullifying a divorce - true or false?
What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA
This question may sound ridiculous, but it's simple! In California state - is it true that if both parties involved in a dissolution of marriage engage in sex with one another... that the divorce is null and void??? Or is that completely false??? Any info would be appreciated...thanks.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? |

People in CA remain in the same home often, until a divorce is final or the house is sold, and they do it with the blessing of the courts.

However if you are getting divorced and the only ground is living separate and apart for more than a year, you have destroyed the separation time. The divorce is NOT null and void however.

| | hi,
I never heard about this before.
The most ridiculous part is you are not living together without divorce. 
May be there is some law for this type of cases!!! 
Thanks. |

Thanks. | There's nothing unusual about it. It is not uncommon for married couples to continue to live together (and even have sex) while working on a divorce.
The law was already explained above. There's no law against it. In the states which require that the couple live 'separate and apart' for some period before the marriage, it can reset the clock, but that's all that can happen. |

Only idiots would do that!!
