Legal Question in Family Law in California

I Live in Riverside County, Ca: I have a pending Family Law court date for 12/27/2011 for a ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE STRIKE/PROCEED W/ DEFAULT - the other party (Petitioner) has failed to come to the last five court dates one being a settlement conference. She will not sign any paperwork as well. I have not been served summons paperwork from her but I got copies from the court and respond over 6 months ago to her summons.

I understand when the OCS on 12/27 is complected I can file the judgement paperwork to complected my Dissolution if the court grants my motion.

The question is i can I do anything or can I file anything or request to move my Dissolution done so I can be recognized as a single man on 12/27 for taxes reasons and so I can re-marry another party ?

I understand their still would be pending maters of childcustdy, property ect ?? Please advise

I highly doubt that you would be able to have your dissolution entered on 12/27, but I would have to speak with you to get all the details. Also, it would appear that you really need to retain an attorney to make sure that all proper paperwork is filed, including proper declarations of disclossure that are an absolute requirement to proceed to Judgment. If you want to consider retaining an attorney, please contact me at: (714) 978-1788 to discuss your case.

I would disagree. You can file a motion to bifurcate status. I would highly suggest though that you seek local legal counsel.
