Can the Court Enter Judgment After a Party Dies?

What happens if you are in the middle of your divorce process and your spouse dies?

If your proposed marital settlement agreement was signed by the everyone, and the judgment was submitted, and then your spouse dies before it is signed by the court- the court has the power to sign the proposed judgment, which, after all, the parties had intended that the agreement would be the judgment of the court, CCP §669.

However, if the judgment was not submitted, the Court will not enter your divorce as final.
