There is no minimum time between when you marry and when you can file for divorce (technically called dissolution of marriage). Welcome to California.Often marriages that blow apart within days or weeks will end with an annulment (technically called nullity of marriage), but not all short marriages qualify to be annulled and the parties need a dissolution of marriage judgment to end their marriage even though they were together after the wedding for just a few days or even less.I once granted a dissolution of marriage to a couple who got married, went to the wedding party, and then each went back to his or her own parentsu2022 house that night and they never saw each other again. But no one did anything about the marriage until one of them filed for divorce several years later.
