California has a divorce rate which is much higher than the consummation rate.
According to a research, divorce rate in California ranges from 69-83%, the average figure is 75.54%, but the official divorce rate is 57%. Only one third of the marriages are successful and two third of the marriages end up in divorce.
There are two major divorce grounds in California, which are:
Incurable Insanity
Marriage with a mentally handicapped person is banned in California. If one of the spouses is mentally incapacitated beyond cure, the other spouse can divorce him or her. Though to validate this divorce ground in California, a certified surgeon’s written testimony is required. Since the insanity ratio is not high, this is not a very common divorce ground in California.
Irreconcilable Differences
If there are irreconcilable differences between the spouses, both of them can file for divorce. Lack of mutual understanding is a legitimate divorce ground in California.
These are the two major divorce grounds in California.
