California’s New Joint Divorce Law — What You Really Need to Know | Los Angeles Divorce

📜 California’s New Joint Divorce Law — What You Really Need to Know | Los Angeles Divorce You may have seen headlines saying California passed a new law that makes divorce cheaper, faster, and easier by allowing couples to file jointly. This video explains what actually changed—and what hasn’t. California passed Senate Bill 1427, which eventually allows spouses to file a joint petition for divorce. But court processes don’t change overnight. New forms, instructions, and filing procedures are still required—and they are not yet in place. As of today, the only joint petition form available is FL-800, which still applies only to short marriages with no children and limited assets. There is currently no new joint divorce process available for couples with kids, long-term marriages, or significant property. This law also does not eliminate filing fees and does not remove California’s six-month waiting period. Here’s the part most people are missing: For amicable couples, the results being promised by this law have already existed for years. 📌 What This Video Covers: ✔ What California’s new joint divorce law actually does ✔ Why courts haven’t implemented it yet ✔ What FL-800 still limits today ✔ Why filing fees and waiting periods haven’t changed ✔ How amicable divorces already work right now 🧠 Key Insight: New laws don’t automatically create new court processes.
