Selected California Family Code
- Section 2310. Dissolution of the marriage or legal separation of the
parties may be based on either of the following grounds, which shall
be pleaded generally:
(a) Irreconcilable differences, which have caused the irremediable
breakdown of the marriage.
(b) Incurable insanity.
- Section 2311. Irreconcilable differences are those grounds which are
determined by the court to be substantial reasons for not continuing
the marriage and which make it appear that the marriage should be
dissolved.
- Section 2320. A judgment of dissolution of marriage may not be entered
unless one of the parties to the marriage has been a resident of this
state for six months and of the county in which the proceeding is
filed for three months next preceding the filing of the petition.
- Section 2339. (a) Subject to subdivision (b) and to Sections 2340 to 2344,
inclusive, no judgment of dissolution is final for the purpose of
terminating the marriage relationship of the parties until six months
have expired from the date of service of a copy of summons and
petition or the date of appearance of the respondent, whichever
occurs first.
(b) The court may extend the six-month period described in
subdivision (a) for good cause shown.
[Note: This is the statute containing California's 6-month waiting period after filing of the dissolution petition.]
