What are the grounds for divorce in the state of California?
California was the first state to implement the no-fault divorce concept. In California, dissolution of marriage (divorce) can be granted if the court finds there to be irreconcilable differences that have cause an irrevocable breakdown of the marriage. This means that if a married person wishes to terminate the marriage, he/she can do so, even if the other spouse disagrees.
What is community property?
California law defines community property as any asset acquired or income earned by a married person while living with his or her spouse. Separate property is defined as anything acquired by a spouse before the marriage, or during the marriage by gift, devise or bequest. The law requires that the community estate be divided equally if there is no written agreement to the contrary. This means that from the total fair market value of the community assets, the joint obligations of the parties are subtracted, yielding the net community estate. Unless agreed otherwise, each spouse must receive 1/2 of the net community estate.
