Sell Your Divorce House Fast in California

California is a community property state, meaning any real estate purchased during the marriage is generally owned 50/50 by both spouses regardless of whose name is on the title, as governed by California Family Code §760. When a divorce is filed, an automatic temporary restraining order (ATRO) goes into effect under Family Code §2040, which prohibits either spouse from selling, transferring, or encumbering marital property without written consent of the other spouse or a court order. California's mandatory six-month waiting period (Family Code §2339) means a divorce cannot be finalized sooner than six months after the respondent is served, but the home can be sold before the divorce is finalized if both spouses agree in writing or a judge issues an order permitting the sale through the Superior Court. If spouses cannot agree on selling or dividing the property, either party can file a motion to force a sale — known as a partition action under California Code of Civil Procedure §872.210 — and the court will ultimately order the home sold and proceeds split equally.
