The Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is the initial report archived with the California court. It is in this particular document that the filing spouse will request a legal court to end the union under certain particular grounds.
Dissolution of the union could be dependant upon either of the following grounds; (1) Irreconcilable differences, that have caused the irremediable dysfunction in the marriage. (2) Incurable madness.
Irreconcilable differences are grounds that are based upon the court to be adequate causes of the marriage to not proceed and which makes it evident that the marriage ought to be ended.
A marriage can be terminated by factors of incurable insanity only upon ample substantiation, including qualified medical or psychiatric testimony from the professional, 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's 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, make sure that you completely understand the grounds and any potential legal repercussions.
