The Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is the initial file filed with the California court. It is actually in this document which the filing husband or wife will request a legal court to end the union under certain stipulated grounds.
Dissolution of the marriage is possibly dependant on either of the following grounds; (1) Irreconcilable discrepancies, which have caused the irremediable failure of the marriage. (2) Incurable insanity.
Irreconcilable differences are those grounds that happen to be based upon the court to be adequate factors behind the marriage not to proceed and that makes it evident how the marriage ought to be terminated.
A marriage may be terminated by causes of incurable insanity only upon ample proof, including professional medical or psychiatric testimony from a specialist, that the spouse was during the time the petition for dissolution of marriage was filed, and actually remains, incurably insane. (California Code - Sections: 2310)
Every divorce case that may be filed in the state of California must declare the causes 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, be sure that you completely understand the grounds and any potential legal repercussions.
