🔍 Today, we're diving into the ins and outs of divorce in California 🌴⚖️ Here's what you need to know:

1️⃣ No fault vs. Fault based divorce: In California, it's all about "irreconcilable differences" – meaning you don't have to prove blame for the breakdown of your marriage. Your reasons for divorce won't affect the process, even if one spouse doesn't agree.

2️⃣ Proving Fault Not Required: Your reasons for divorce don't need proof. Keep emotions aside for rational decisions during the process.

3️⃣ Spouses can agree on different grounds: Even without agreement on fault, irreconcilable differences suffice for divorce in CA. Your reasons aren't relevant to the process.

4️⃣ Separation Not Mandatory: No need to physically separate before filing. Many still live together during and after the divorce process.

5️⃣ Reconciliation Possible: Filing doesn't immediately end the marriage. There's a 6-month cooling off period before finalization.

6️⃣ Legal Separation vs. Divorce: Procedurally similar, but legal separation lacks the 6-month wait.

7️⃣ Focus on moving forward: Emphasize amicable resolutions. Consider long-term impacts, especially if children are involved. Prioritize the "best interest of the children."
