You can file for divorce or for legal separation in California based on either of the following grounds (reasons): • Irreconcilable differences, which have caused the permanent breakdown of the marriage; or • Incurable insanity.* For this ground, there needs to be proof (competent medical or psychiatric testimony) that the spouse was incurably insane at the time you filed the petition and that he still is incurably insane.** * Ann.Cal.Fam.Code. § 2310 ** Ann.Cal.Fam.Code.
