No. But in California a divorce is no fault. The most you can do is request counseling and perhaps delay the divorce for a short time. The only requirement for a divorce is that one of the parties wants the marriage dissolved. There is a 6 month period between the serving of the divorce petition and the time the marriage is dissolved.
