Can my husband and I use the same attorney in our divorce? Why?

Answered by attorney Vanessa J. Gorden
Divorce lawyer at GordenLaw, LLC
It is an absolutely conflict of interest for an attorney to represent you both. By the very nature of divorce, your interests are at odds with each other (even if you agree on most things or everything). You can have only one of you represented, but it is risky for the other side. At the very least, I usually recommend that one of you be represented and the other pay a flat fee for limited representation to an attorney to at least advise them before they sign any paperwork.

If an Quit claim Deed was signed but not submitted to the County to record, is it still enforecable in a divorce case?

Why do you ask? I'd consult your divorce case judgment and orders to see what he was required to do. If he was not required to issue the quit claim deed, then I'd figure out why you posted here. You want to be able to record the deed with your County Recorder. Ask your County Recorder if you can do so successfully. If so, I really wonder why any answer is needed from this forum.

Will my default come faster than 6 months or do I have to wait if we have no children, no joint debts or accounts?

It takes a minimum of six months from when your ex was served to become divorced in every case in California. Good luck.
