California, and most other states, do not require any "grounds" or reasons for divorce. You simply have to state the irreconcilable differences have arisen and you want a divorce.

Louisiana is a no far divorce state. This means you so not have to prove fault in order to obtain a divorce. You simply need to wait the requisite time period which is 6 months if no children were born or adopted during the marriage and 1 year if one or more children were born or adopted during the marriage. There are some exceptions.

You don't need grounds, you just need to want to be divorced.

If you are separated for one year, you have fault grounds. If separated for 2 years, you have the right to obtain a no fault divorce.

California grounds for dissolution are irreconcilable differences in a no fault process. You should consult a family law attorney to review all of the facts and advise you.

The grounds for a dissolution of your marriage will be that your marriage is irretrievably broken, with no possibility of reconciliation. The issue of abandonment might go to your ability to serve him with the petition for dissolution. Also the divison of community assets. You are always best served by consulting with an experienced family law attorney when making decision such as this.
