When love does not lead to a happily ever after, you may find yourself caught up in a lengthy and bitter divorce proceeding.
Most divorces in California are no-fault. In other words, if you ask for one, you do not have to give a reason why. Judges do not consider fault during property division and spousal support.
Even if your spouse cheated on you or harmed you, it may not be considered before the verdict. At this point, you can ask for a divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences and prove to the court the marriage is not sustainable on those grounds.
Divorce can also be filed on the grounds of incurable insanity. To ensure this holds up in court, you need to prove, via medical and psychiatric testimony, that your spouse was mentally challenged during your marriage.
Getting a divorce can be a painfully long process if you try and do it without expert legal advice and services. If you are contemplating this course of action, you may be overwhelmed with the information you have researched. This is where a Sacramento divorce attorney can prove invaluable to you.
