In the California courts, a divorce is called a dissolution. You can file and complete your own divorce/dissolution without an attorney if you and your spouse can come to an agreement about how any children will be cared for and how your property will be divided.
California Residency Requirements
At least one spouse from the marriage must have lived in California for the last six months. Additionally, the person filing the divorce papers must be a resident of the county for 90 days prior to filing in that county.
Grounds For Divorce
"Irreconcilable Differences" is the grounds for divorce in nearly all California cases. If you do not want to continue your marriage and you want to end your marriage permanently, you have irreconcilable differences.
