What Do I Need to Go to Court for Divorce in Beverly Hills, California?

To file for divorce in Beverly Hills, California, you or your spouse must meet California’s residency requirements. At least one spouse must have been a California resident for six months and a Los Angeles County resident for three months before filing.

California is a no-fault divorce state. The only grounds for divorce are:

  • Irreconcilable differences that have caused the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage
  • Permanent legal incapacity to make decisions (rarely used)

 

The divorce process in Beverly Hills begins with filing a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Required documents include:

  • Petition for Dissolution (Form FL-100)
  • Summons (Form FL-110)
  • Declaration Under Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (Form FL-105) if children are involved
  • Property Declaration (Form FL-160) in some cases

 

California law imposes a mandatory six-month waiting period from the date the Respondent is served with divorce papers until the divorce can be finalized. This waiting period applies regardless of whether you and your spouse agree on all terms.

During the divorce process, both parties must complete full financial disclosures, exchanging detailed information about income, assets, debts, and expenses. This disclosure requirement is particularly important in Beverly Hills cases involving complex financial portfolios.
