California Grounds for Divorce
California divorce law allows couples to file for divorce under no fault grounds.
A no fault divorce will be granted by the divorce court without one spouse proving that a wrong doing was committed by the other spouse.
In California the divorce court will grant divorce or legal separation under either of the following grounds, which are usually pleaded generally:
- Irreconcilable differences, causing a breakdown of the marriage that is beyond repair
- Incurable insanity
When
filing for divorce in California, the couple must meet the
California residency requirement.
