This counts from the date you were married or registered as domestic partners to the date of separation.<\/li>\n<li>Neither of you owns any real property, such as land or buildings. You can have a lease but only if it doesn\u2019t have the option to purchase, and it must end within one year from the date you file your summary divorce petition.<\/li>\n<li>Neither of you has accumulated more than $6,000 in debt since the beginning of your marriage or domestic partnership (this excludes car payments).<\/li>\n<li>You have $38,000 or less in community property (this property is all assets and debts collected during marriage).<\/li>\n<li>Neither of you has $38,000 in separate property (this property includes anything you owned before or after your marriage or domestic partnership registration).<\/li>\n<li>You both have completed and signed a property settlement agreement which divides your community property.<\/li>\n<li>You both agree to waive any rights to spousal support and your rights to appeal once the court enters your summary divorce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you would like more information on your qualifications for <a href=\"\/divorce-lawyer-help\/\">California summary divorce<\/a>, or you would like to know how to file for summary divorce, <a href=\"\/contact-divorce-lawyers\/\">contact<\/a> our San Diego divorce attorneys for an initial consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary dissolution, or summary divorce, can offer a simpler and quicker route to divorce in the state of California.
