WHAT IS A NO FAULT DIVORCE?

Fault Divorce

When divorce was first made possible,

it was available only in situations where

one of the two spouses did something

“wrong”

A couple who wanted to divorce had to

state grounds for divorce

Grounds for divorce typically included

adultery, abandonment, cruelty or

similar breaches of good conduct

No Fault Divorce

No fault divorce, on the other hand,

means that neither spouse did any

specific action or made any specific

breaches leading to the divorce

Instead, a no fault divorce means that

the couple simply cannot get along or

has irreconcilable differences

No Fault Divorce in California

In California, all divorces are now No

Fault divorces

It is not possible to file for divorce in

California on fault grounds

This means even if your spouse

cheated on you, was abusive or

abandoned you, you will still file for a

no fault divorce

Irreconcilable Differences

When a person files for a no fault

divorce, he will list irreconcilable

differences as the grounds for the

dissolution of the marriage on his

divorce forms

An attorney can assist with the

completion of divorce forms in order to

help move the divorce along as quickly

and effectively as possible
