What is the Legal Basis for a Divorce in California?
In the State of California, there are only two legal reasons for ending a marriage:
(1) “Irreconcilable Differences”; or
(2) Incurable Insanity.
Irreconcilable differences means that no amount of marital counseling will save the marriage. California is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning that you do not have to give the court any other reason for ending your marriage, as opposed to other states which require proof of adultery, etc.
