When Can You Begin a California Divorce?

As with most other states, California allows for no-fault divorces in which either partner can cite irreconcilable differences as reason for the divorce. You and your spouse must have been living apart for at least a year before you can file a joint petition for divorce. In some situations, you may be able to file for an “immediate” divorce. This happens in situations such as if you are in the military and are being deployed or transferred out of state, if your spouse has a mental or physical incapacity that prevents them from signing the divorce agreement, or if your spouse has deserted you.
