Where can I find additional information about divorce?

We hope the following links to outside sources may provide helpful information.

The California Courts website provides the following resources concerning divorce:

  • information about summary dissolution;
  • facts about annulment;
  • information about spousal/partner support; and
  • links to court forms that you may need if you wish to get a divorce in California.

WomensLaw.org is unrelated to the above organizations and cannot vouch for the accuracy of their sites. We provide these links for your information only.
