In California, a summary dissolution is a simple way to get a divorce with the possibility of not having to appear in court for a trial. However, not every couple can use a summary dissolution in California to get a divorce. Therefore, before you proceed with a summary dissolution in California you will want to determine if you qualify for a summary dissolution. Information related to the factors that qualify a couple for a divorce through the summary dissolution procedure in California can often be found through your local superior courthouse or through its website. In general, couples that meet the criteria, such as the following criteria, may be able to use a summary dissolution in California:

Once you determine that you qualify for a summary dissolution in California you will want to read the Summary Dissolution Booklet provided by the superior court in your county.
