Grounds for Uncontested Divorce
No Fault Divorce
The grounds, or reason for divorce in most California cases are considered to be "Irreconcilable Differences." Essentially, no matter what the actual reason two spouses would have for wishing to end a marriage, this notation would serve as a broad catch-all term to cover the reason.
Other
The other reason allowed for a divorce in the State of California is “incurable insanity.” Insanity has to be medically established with competent psychiatric or medical testimony. In this case, there is no hope of regaining sanity. In this case, the spouse is still not exempt from fulfilling the legal obligations of child and spousal support.
