California is a no fault divorce state, which means that the spouse or domestic partner that is asking for the divorce does not have to prove that the other spouse or domestic partner did something wrong. To get a no fault divorce, the spouse or domestic partner has to state that the couple cannot get along.
To receive half of the marital assets in a California divorce, the duration of the marriage is less important than the principles of community property law. Whether a marriage lasted one year or over ten years, the assets accumulated during that period are typically divided equally.
