Grounds for Divorce
California is a no-fault state, which means that no legal reason is required to file for divorce. Anyone can obtain a divorce without establishing the wrongdoing of the other partner. Even if your spouse doesn't want divorce, the judge will still go ahead with granting the petition and ascertaining child custody, property division, and other matters.
Most divorces cite irreconcilable differences that caused the breakdown of marriage. Other grounds also include legal incapacity to make decisions.
The only fault issues that will be considered by the courts will be when domestic violence has occurred. A person convicted of domestic violence won't receive alimony or custody of children.
