Depends on the circumstances, it certainly sounds like you need a divorce.

Never in California. Grounds are basically irreconcilable differences.

Grounds for marriage today are no fault. You may get started with the divorce process at anytime. Good luck.

This corner of the site is for Wisconsin law questions. Desertion is not a ground for divorce in this state. The ground is that the marriage is 'irretrievably broken.' Since it takes two to tango, one person's unequivocal statement to this effect is enough of a legal basis. Find an experienced matrimonial lawyer. Good Luck.
