Grounds for Divorce in California

If you are planning to obtain a divorce in the state of California, one of the things that you may be wondering is what grounds for divorce are legitimate.  In California, the following grounds for divorce are recognized by law:

-          irreconcilable differences

-          incurable insanity

When people decide to file for divorce and they list "irreconcilable differences" as their ground for the termination of their marriage, there are essentially saying that they are unable to repair their marriage and that certain circumstances have caused the marriage to reach an end. 

When people decide to file for divorce and they list "incurable insanity" as their ground for the termination of their marriage, they must have ample proof of spouses' insanity.  Proof may include an evaluation from a psychiatrist or actual testimony from an accepted medical professional.

If you have questions about the California grounds for divorce, you should contact a divorce attorney who can address your questions and provide you with legal insight.
