Many parties feel that it is easier to negotiate the remaining issues once the divorce is settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The divorce attorneys at The Zhou Law Group, APC can help you determine whether bifurcation would be applicable in your divorce proceedings.&nbsp; To arrange a free 1\/2 hour initial consultation, call (408)289-9688, or contact us online at&nbsp;www.sanjoseattorneys.com.<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some divorcing couples may want their divorce resolved as quickly as possible.&nbsp; In California, the legal minimum time requirement that a dissolution can be entered is six months from the date of service of the Petition to the entered judgment.&nbsp; However, oftentimes, complex financial matters or other contentious questions make the process much longer.&nbsp; Fortunately,&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,115],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-divorce","category-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanjoseattorneys.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanjoseattorneys.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanjoseattorneys.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanjoseattorneys.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanjoseattorneys.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sanjoseattorneys.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10290\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanjoseattorneys.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanjoseattorneys.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanjoseattorneys.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
