California No-Fault Divorce Package (No Children)

About this Form Set: The sample petition below is a representative example intended to provide you with an idea of the kind of information required when filing a divorce petition in California. When filing for divorce, also known as a dissolution of marriage, California requires the parties to use official forms that have been approved by the Supreme Court. California has more than 300 family law forms. Only a small number of these forms are necessary in the overwhelming majority of uncontested, no-fault divorce cases. Purchasers of this document set will receive the 11 forms that are used in 99 percent of no-fault divorces in California. In addition, included in the package is a detailed set of step-by-step instructions.

This is a no-fault divorce form for use within the State of California (Petition for Dissolution of Marriage). California courts requires that a Petition and Summons are completed and filed along with a Marital Settlement Agreement ​if the parties have property that they wish to divide. If the parties cannot agree on property division, the judge will determine the division after a hearing. ​​​Please note that in Paragraph 5 (Grounds for Divorce), the Petitioner will need to specify grounds for divorce that are recognized as valid within the State of California. California law recognizes only the following grounds as sufficient for granting a no-fault divorce: Irreconcilable differences that have caused the irremediable breakdown of the marriage. (NOTE: The sample form below is intended to provide a general idea as to the kind of information that would be required when filing for divorce in California. The form below is not the official form. The purchased version of this form includes the actual required forms in PDF format.)
