What is the name of your state? CA
We're preparing to file for legal separation in CA. Anyone know how long it generally takes to get a (court ordered) legal separation in San Francisco if it's uncontested? I know a divorce is not final until at least six months after the other spouse is notified of the filing of the petition; I believe there isn't something similar with legal separation? Due to extreme financial incompatibility and for tax purposes, I really need at least a court ordered legal separation if not a divorce by the end of 2006.
