Hi,

My name is XXXXX XXXXX X'd be happy to answer your questions today. We have recently implemented a new payment and feedback system. Please be aware that you are rating my courtesy and service as a professional, and not whether the answer supports your legal position. Choosing either of the low two options reflects poorly on me (and not the law), and ensures that I receive no credit for my time in helping you, so please do not choose either of these options without first giving me the opportunity to address your concerns by clicking the "reply" tab. I appreciate your patience while we adjust to the new system.

California law states that "no judgment of dissolution is final for the purpose of terminating the marriage relationship of the parties until six months have expired from the date of service of a copy of summons and petition or the date of appearance of the respondent, whichever occurs first." Cal. Fam. Code, Section 2339. So, the waiting period starts to run when your spouse is served with notice of the divorce. Unless the error somehow prevents your spouse from realizing that you were requesting a divorce (and I don't see how that would be possible), it should not affect your default, and you do not have to wait another six months. An Amended Complaint relates back to the date the initial complaint was filed, so it's as if it was filed on the same day.

If you have any questions at all about what I've written, please click "continue conversation" or reply so that I may address them. It's important to me that you are 100% satisfied with the service I have provided you. Thank you.

The Code of Civil Procedure doesn't specifically mention how a typo would affect the waiting period. That's why I didn't mention it. There are some sections on when a judge can order someone to amend a complaint, but that doesn't specifically address your question, so I thought that giving you those code sections would just be more confusing. There are some hints to "relating back" (which is what it's called), but it isn't explicit, because what you're talking about is judge-made law. The relevant statute is the Family Code Section that states when the waiting period starts to run.

If there were an obvious statute I could point to that would help, I'd be happy to give it, but this is one of those situations that unfortunately isn't directly addressed in the statutes. The doctrine was initially addressed by the California Supreme Court in Austin v. Massachusetts Bonding & Insurance Co., 56 Cal.2d 596 (1961). It's not a divorce case, but it does discuss how an amended complaint is considered to have been filed on the same day as the original.
