That depends on what has happened to this point. Have you exchanged the Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure (Income and Expense Declaration, Schedule of Assets and Debts, Statement of Material Facts). If not, then the divorce cannot proceed. If those documents have been exchanged, then has someone drawn up a Stipulated Judgment/Marital Settlement Agreement, in which all property, custody and support issues have been resolved?
My recommendation would be to seek legal assistance to review your matter and determine the best way to proceed. There are several low cost attorney services in the LA area, the Harriet Buhai Center and Levitt and Quinn.
