Divorce in California

There are two grounds for divorce in California. The most common, irreconcilable differences, simply states that you are your spouse are no longer compatible. Filing for divorce on the grounds of "incurable insanity" requires medical proof and is much less common.

After you have filed and served your spouse with divorce documents, a number of legal steps must be taken in order to reach a number of agreements, including how property will be divided, spousal support payments, and child custody and visitation. If an agreement is not possible, you and your spouse may need to appear in court.

The division of community and separate property during a divorce can be a complicated procedure. Debts, incomes, accounts, and real and personal property acquired during your marriage may all be considered joint property and, thus, be divided equally between you. Small mistakes during this stage in the divorce process can have costly repercussions. It is important that you seek the legal guidance of a skilled divorce attorney to help you mediate any disputes that may arise.
