When does the clock start??

[sddad]

What is the name of your state? California

In California it takes a minimum of 6 months for the divorce to finalized. Can anyone tell me when does that clock start? The date the petition for dissolution of marriage was filed with the other party or the date of when agreements are worked out?

Thanks in advance.

The date of service of the Petition on the Respondent commences the 6-month waiting period between the start of the dissolution and eligibility to request that the marital status of the parties be terminated and Judgment entered.
