Divorce, Separation, Nullity, ETC. | Superior Court of California | County of Tuolumne
A dissolution of marriage, which is more commonly known as divorce, terminates the marriage and resolves marital issues including child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, asset and debt division (real and personal property), former name restoration, restraining orders, and other issues identified by the parties. It is not necessary that both persons agree to end the relationship. One spouse or partner cannot make the other stay in a relationship.
It takes a minimum of six months from the date the divorce papers are served (given) to the other party before a divorce can be final. However, you are not automatically divorced at the end of six months. At least one spouse or partner must complete the required legal process and obtain a written judgment.
For more information on dissolutions, click here.
Summary Dissolution
If you and your spouse are in agreement that you want to divorce, you may be able to obtain a summary dissolution. The criteria for a summary dissolution include:
For more information about this option, which is less complicated than a regular dissolution of marriage, click here.
Legal Separation
Legal Separation is a legal action filed by a married person or domestic partner who wants to stay married or in the domestic partnership, but also wants to resolve all other issues, such as child custody, child and spousal support, and property division.
There are no residency requirements for obtaining a legal separation.
Sometimes a person will file a legal separation because he/she does not meet the residency requirement for filing for a divorce. Then, after the residency requirements are met, the action is amended from a legal separation to a divorce.
Sometimes people stay in a marriage or domestic partnership for religious reasons, or to be able to retain medical insurance benefits for a spouse or partner.
For more information on legal separations, click here.
Nullity
A nullity is more commonly known as an annulment of marriage. This may only be requested if a party alleges incest, bigamy, a minor without parental consent, unsound mind, fraud, force or incapacity to consummate marriage. An annulment restores the parties to the status of single persons, as though they were never married.

Legal separation | California Courts | Self Help Guide
If this is your situation, talk to a lawyer with experience in domestic partnership laws.

 

You can usually change a legal separation to a divorce. 
If you ask for a legal separation and decide before its final that you want a divorce, you may be able to change your case to a divorce. If your spouse filed for legal separation but you want to divorce, you can respond by saying you want a divorce.
 

Divorce and legal separation court process: How are they different
The steps to get a legal separation or divorce are the same. You use the same court forms and follow the same set of instructions. The main differences:
On your court forms, you will check the boxes that say legal separation
The residency requirement for married couples - one of you must live in California, but there's no time requirement
There's no 6-month waiting period. The earliest a couple can divorce is 6 months from the day the other spouse was served divorce papers or responded in court. This is a waiting period. There isn't one for a legal separation.
When it's final, you are still legally married
Talk to a lawyer or a Family Law Facilitator or Self-Help Center if you have more questions.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
However, some OHV users refused to use the New 611 and chose to attempt to make unauthorized roads across USFS Property onto our property to bypass the New 611, creating erosion problems and damaging the watershed. Thank you for caring for our forests. Tony & Kathryn D’Ambrosio Tony & Kathryn D'Ambrosio - 3/6/2024

 USFS - Los Padres National Forest

In general we are in strong support of Los Padres Ground Ops application, however we do have a number of comments. We strongly support the purchase of the equipment trailer and UTV trailers. The SLRD currently has to use a dump trailer for this purpose, which is very heavy and ill suited for transporting equipment and SXSs. We strongly support the "other" staff per diem line item #10. Los Padres recently hired a number of new rec staff. Due to the size of Los Padres and the remote location of OHV areas, staff have to travel 2 hours or more from a district office to reach them. Rec staff are required to pick up a vehicle at the District office and return it at the end of the work day, which means by the time they reach a worksite there is almost no time left to do any work before they have to return to the district office to clock out. If rec staff had a "per diem " hopefully they could stay closer to worksite, or perhaps they could restructure their time so they would be more productive. Also we note that the application does not include any mileage or fuel cost for Forest owned vehicles. There are only a limited number of FS vehicles available, and I understand that the SLRD rec staff has to travel as a group because only one truck is available. There are currently four rec techs on the District , and they are very limited in what they can do because they have to share a single vehicle. Fortunately two of the rec techs have their UTV certification, so they can use a 4 place SXS to reach worksite locations, but they need their own truck and trailer to tow the SXS to worksites. (The trailer is included in the grant request. ) One of the activities listed for rec staff is campgound maintenance.
