The Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is the initial record archived with the California court. It's in this document that the filing husband or wife will request a legal court to terminate the union under certain stipulated grounds.
Dissolution of the union is possibly dependant on either of the following grounds; (1) Irreconcilable differences, that have caused the irremediable dysfunction in the marriage. (2) Incurable madness.
Irreconcilable variances are those grounds that happen to be decided by the court being adequate factors behind the marriage not to continue and which makes it evident that the marriage must be terminated.
A marriage could be terminated by reasons of incurable insanity only upon ample facts, including expert medical or psychiatric testimony from the specialist, that the spouse was during the time the request for dissolution of marriage was filed, and actually remains, incurably insane. (California Code - Sections: 2310)
Every divorce case that is filed in the state of California must declare the grounds in which the divorce is to be granted. The grounds for divorce must be substantiated with evidence or testimony otherwise the court may dismiss the case. When you are petitioning the court for a divorce, or agreeing to a divorce, ensure that you completely understand the grounds and any potential legal repercussions.
