Magdalena Chattopadhya happily shared, “This award means a lot to me and I see it as a symbol of achievement for my dedication to helping people in their legal disputes. I want to achieve more awards like this in the future!”. She also gave a glimpse of two important reasons for which a couple can file divorce in California. They are,

Irreconcilable differences

The primary cause for seeking a divorce is often “irreconcilable differences”. In California, which is a “no-fault” divorce state, partners are not required to demonstrate the other’s wrongdoing to obtain a divorce. In essence, one must declare that the marriage has reached a point of no return due to irreconcilable differences between the partners.

Moreover, California is recognized as a state that practices no-fault divorce, meaning that “faults” are not taken into account when deciding issues like the division of assets, custody of children, child support, etc. Typically, for a spouse to file for divorce in California, they need to demonstrate that they have lived in the state for at least 6 months and in the county for at least 3 months before the divorce petition is filed. The court will not issue a divorce decree until at least 6 months and 1 day have elapsed since the petition is served on the other spouse.

Incurable insanity

A partner can also initiate a divorce on the basis of “permanent legal incapacity to make decisions”. Nonetheless, this is uncommon due to the stringent proof required, necessitating evidence that the insane partner was present at the time the divorce petition was filed and continues to be, irretrievably insane. Should the court approve the divorce on the grounds of irretrievable insanity, the partner seeking the divorce is still bound by legal duties to provide for the spouse who is irretrievably insane.

Legal Separation Can be An Alternative!

If there are hurdles, Legal separation serves as a great alternative option from divorce in California. It enables a pair to divide and address common divorce issues like child custody and financial support, while still keeping their marriage legally intact. This option allows the couple to act as though they are divorced while retaining the legal advantages that come with being married.

Another factor to think about when applying for a divorce in California is the couple’s living situation. The state mandates that at least one of the partners must have lived in California for a minimum of 6 months before they can proceed with filing for divorce in the state, educated the expert.
