OT Lawyers, explain the mechanics of a divorce in LA?

I understand the part about 12 months separation if you have a child under the age of 18, if no fault.
If both parties agree on the terms, at what point should they file the divorce decree? Beginning, middle or end of separation?
Does it matter when it's filed?
asking for a friend...

Depends how long you have been separate and apart. If you just split, you can file now and wait the 12 months. (Civil Code article 102 divorce)
If you have been split 10 months, wait 2 more months and file. You can get it all done at once. (Civil Code article 103 divorce)
The main thing about filing that "separation" or "Petition for Divorce" is that is when the community property ceases to exist.
I'm assuming nothing has been filed yet?

You file it at the end of the 12 month period.

So you've got to file as officially separated? That's crazy

I would go ahead and talk to my lawyer. You have a 12 month separation and then file, then a 12 month waiting period iirc.

I think that the date of filing is important because that's the date the courts will consider the community to be broken and finances separate, regardless of whether the separation/living apart occurs before or after the date of filing. Also:

I found this site (EBR family court) to be most useful when divorcing: LINK
They have another section with forms you can use as a guide if you’re planning to DIY.
I did the separate then file at the end of the waiting period version, but I think it’s smarter to do the version where you file the petition up front, wait the 6/12 months, then file the judgment. That way community property ceases immediately rather then hoping your ex doesn’t go nuts in the upcoming year.

File ASAP! Freeze the community property.
