Understanding California’s Divorce Timeline

Many people are surprised to learn that California has a mandatory six-month waiting period before a divorce can be finalized. This isn’t a delay caused by paperwork or the court — it’s a state requirement that applies to everyone.

The good news? There’s plenty you can do during that time. BY THE PEOPLE prepares and files all necessary documents promptly, helping you use the waiting period productively instead of feeling stuck. We keep you updated on court fees, local processing times, and any next steps so you’re never left wondering what comes next.

A clear timeline brings peace of mind. And when you know what to expect, the process feels far less overwhelming.

Why Clear Communication Makes the Divorce Process Smoother

One of the most powerful tools during a divorce isn’t legal knowledge—it’s clear communication. When couples can openly discuss priorities like property, parenting schedules, or financial agreements, the process becomes far more manageable.

At BY THE PEOPLE, we see every day how cooperation can shorten timelines, reduce costs, and lessen emotional strain. Even when conversations are difficult, choosing clarity over conflict helps both sides transition into their next chapter with fewer obstacles.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a battlefield. With simple communication and the right guidance, it can become an organized and respectful path forward.

Does a Spouse Automatically Inherit Everything? | LawInfo

A spouse doesn't always inherit everything unless it's stated in a will. If you pass away without a will, some of your estate may pass to other relatives.

When Being the Executor Feels Overwhelming

Even when you do everything “right” — follow the will, communicate clearly, stay organized — being an executor can still take an emotional toll.

You’re managing logistics and legalities, but you’re also navigating grief — your own and everyone else’s. It’s no wonder many executors describe the role as one of the most challenging experiences of their lives.

If you’re feeling drained or second-guessing yourself, know this: it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human.

Here are a few ways to protect your own well-being as you carry out this responsibility:

• Give yourself grace. You weren’t trained for this. Mistakes or delays don’t define your care or integrity.
• Lean on support. Whether it’s a trusted friend, a grief counselor, or a professional advisor, you don’t have to shoulder this alone.
• Take breaks when you can. Even small pauses help you return to decisions with more clarity and calm.

At the end of the day, your role is about stewardship, not perfection. You’re honoring your loved one by handling their wishes with care — and that’s something to be proud of.
