I filed for my divorce in 2010, and it's still not finalized. The latest update I have in my case number is that a Declaration-Serv Pre Dec Dis Inc has been filed by the respondent, what does that mean?

Whoever the respondent is, they filed a proof of service that they served a preliminary declaration of disclosure on the petitioner.

Each party is required to serve a Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure on the other, and unless they sign and file a Stipulation and Waiver of Final Declaration of Disclosure, each party is required to serve a Final Declaration of Disclosure. Those documents are not filed with the Court, but Declarations regarding Service of each Declaration of Disclosure (and Income and Expense Declaration), Judicial Council Form FL-141, do get filed with the Court to demonstrate that the Declarations of Disclosure were served on the other party. The divorce case won't finalize itself. In order to finalize your divorce, you have two choices. You can settle all issues with your spouse and file a Stipulated Judgment, along with other appropriate documents needed for the Judgment to be entered, or to file a Request for Trial Setting, and to try the issues in your divorce case. You would best retain, if not consult, an experienced Family Law Attorney regarding your divorce case.
