California is a “no fault” state when it comes to divorce. In other words, a person can end a marriage simply by stating that he or she is unable to continue the marital relationship. The individual in this case cites “irreconcilable differences” as the legal basis for the divorce. Though there are other obvious grounds for terminating a marriage, “irreconcilable differences” are stated in almost all California divorce cases.

The court has the authority to order spousal support from one spouse to the other in the state of California. Spousal support, also known as alimony or marital support, is determined by the California Family Code and is based on a number of factors.
Spousal support is not determined by a state-developed formula, unlike child support. The court, on the other hand, applies Family Code criteria to determine whether the issue of spousal support is relevant and the appropriate amount of spousal support.

ORANGE COUNTY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCES
When a trial date is set in California, the court also schedules a Mandatory Settlement Conference, at which the parties must specify their points of contention and the amount of court time they believe will be required to hold a trial on those points. The Mandatory Settlement Conference usually takes place two to one month before the trial.
