When you receive the Notice of Entry of Judgment marked "filed," your case is complete. If you asked for a divorce (dissolution), the Notice will say the date your marriage or domestic partnership officially ends.
California requires divorcing couples to wait six months from the date of filing to finalize a divorce. During this time, you may enter into negotiations for custody and the division of assets, and you may also prepare for a trial. Your divorce will not be final until six months and one day from the date of filing.
Pursuant to California's Family Code section 2339(a) “no judgment of dissolution is final for the purpose of terminating the marriage relationship of the parties until six months have expired from the date of service of a copy of summons and petition or the date of appearance of the respondent, whichever occurs first.”
If the judgment debtor owns real property, you may record an Abstract of Judgment with the County Recorder which will act as a lien against all real property owned by the judgment debtor in the county in which the lien is recorded. Complete an Abstract of Judgment (EJ-001)PDF and submit to the court to be issued.
