NOTICES
Your divorce will not be final until husband or wife files a Request for Judgment, Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage, and Notice of Entry of Judgment (form FL-820) and receives a stamped copy back from the court. Either husband or wife can file form FL-820 with the court six months after you file this petition. Until husband or wife files form FL-820, either one of you can stop the divorce by filing a Notice of Revocation of Petition for Summary Dissolution (form FL-830). Dissolution may automatically cancel the rights of a spouse under the other spouse's will, trust, retirement plan, power of attorney, pay-on-death bank account, transfer-on-death vehicle registration, survivorship rights to any property owned in joint tenancy, and any other similar thing. It does not automatically cancel the rights of a spouse as beneficiary of the other spouse's life insurance policy. You should review these matters, as well as any credit card accounts, other credit accounts, insurance policies, and credit reports to determine whether they should be changed or whether you should take any other actions. However, some changes may require the agreement of your spouse or a court order. (See Fam. Code, §§ 231­235.)
