- irreconcilable differences (because of discord or conflict of personalities
that destroys legitimate ends of marriage relationship and prevents any
reasonable expectation of reconciliation)

nature as to render further living together insupportable
- other has voluntarily left complaining spouse for one year with intention
of abandonment
- other has committed adultery
- conviction of felony (after marriage), imprisonment for at least one year
(not, if convicted spouse has been pardoned or was convicted on testimony
of complaining spouse)
- other spouse has been confined in mental hospital for three years, and
disorder is such that he will probably not adjust, or if he does, that he
will probably relapse.
