Each state has its own requirements to get a divorce, and some requirements in California include:
- At least one spouse lived in California for six months and in the specific county for three months
- One spouse must file a petition that cites irreconcilable differences as the grounds for the divorce
- You must resolve (or have the court resolve) issues including property division, spousal support, child custody, and child support
- You must wait at least six months before your divorce is finalized
