In many divorce cases, the differences between spouses won't make any difference in the divorce process, the splitting of resources or in creating custody arrangements. Under California law, divorce is a “no-fault” practice, and neither party has to prove that the other one did anything wrong.
What is No Fault Divorce
"No Fault" divorce means that as a couple, you cannot find a way to make your marriage work, and there's no hope of coming to a resolution. There is no blame assigned to either party and no is more or less guilty of any wrong-doing.
What if my spouse does not want a divorce?
No matter who files for the divorce, if one party wants a dissolution and the other party does not the divorce will proceed regardless. If the party who does not want the divorce is found to be guilty of stalling and intentionally delaying the process they will likely end up paying the other party's legal fees.
Is there any penalty for terrible behavior during a divorce?
In the case of adultery or just being inconsiderate, generally your spouse will not be punished by the judge for bad behavior. However, if he/she is disrespectful to the judge, lying during the divorce proceedings, making false statements or accusations about you, or hiding assets from the court this type of behavior could expose them to some sort of penalty.
