California AB1875 modifies the Family Code to streamline the process for summary dissolution of marriage.

California AB1875 amends the Family Code to expedite the dissolution of marriage through summary dissolution. It allows the court to enter a judgment dissolving the marriage six months after the filing of a joint petition if certain conditions are met. The bill also allows the court to reduce or waive the six-month period for good cause, such as domestic violence. The judgment becomes final six months after the service of a copy of the summons and petition or the date of the respondent's appearance, whichever occurs first.
