If you have resided in California for the past 6 months, you qualify for a "dissolution of marriage". The grounds are irreconsiable differences.

If you both agree, you qualify for a "summary dissolution" which is the easiest procedure.

Good luck to you!

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

You may file for a Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) in California if you have resided in the state for six months and in the county for three months. If you do not meet the residence requirement you can file for a Legal Separation and then change it to a Divorce when you do meet the residence requirements. California is a "no fault" state. The grounds for Dissolution and Legal Separation are "irreconciable differences" or incurable insanity.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.
