The divorce petition was rejected six years ago, but we are still?
I can only talk about California. Other places may or may not be similar. If nothing has been filed because your initial Petition for Dissolution was rejected, you are nowhere. In California, you are considered separated at least, so everything youve earned for the past six years should be considered your separate property. But as far as getting a divorce, you would have to file the Petition for Dissolution, pay the filing fee, and take all the other necessary steps to get your disso. completed. At takes a minimum of six months in California.
