DIVORCE
In California a divorce is officially called a dissolution of marriage.
A divorce is granted on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences." Irreconcilable differences are any grounds the court determines to be substantial reasons for the marriage not to continue. California was also the first state to implement the concept of a "no-fault divorce." In effect, this means that a married person may terminate the marriage even if the other person disagrees.
No- fault divorce acknowledges that both husband and wife have contributed in some way to the breakdown of the marriage, so one party is no longer "punished" -- financially and otherwise.
However fault does not enter into settling property division or support.
California is a community property state, which means that all assets and liabilities the parties earn or acquire during the marriage are presumed to be shared and must be divided equally unless the parties agree otherwise.
