§ 3602 Reconciliation Suspends Enforcement

This law says that if a couple gets back together and lives together, the court orders they had before (like paying money or staying away) don’t count anymore unless the order says otherwise.

Key Takeaways

•If a couple gets back together and lives together, most court orders between them are paused.
•The pause only happens if the court order doesn’t say otherwise.
•This rule applies to orders made under this part of the law.

Example

A couple had a court order saying one person had to pay the other money every month. Later, they decided to live together again.

While they are living together, the person doesn’t have to pay the money anymore unless the court order says the payments must continue even if they reconcile.

Unless the order specifies otherwise, an order made pursuant to this chapter is not enforceable during any period in which the parties have reconciled and are living together. (Enacted by Stats. 1992, Ch. 162, Sec. 10. Operative January 1, 1994.)
