Personal experience reading filings.  In most states (and certainly in California), there&#x27;s no need to prove any particular or even general allegation in a filing.  It&#x27;s basically a license to rant about your soon-to-be ex.  Most people aren&#x27;t dumb enough to pay lawyers extra to spout off; they just want the divorce.  But as you can imagine, giving people who are hurt, bitter, and angry about a failed relationship a venue to publicly berate their partner does often enough lead to all manner of nastiness.  This isn&#x27;t new, either; it&#x27;s been going on for as long as there&#x27;s been divorce.  It makes for mildly entertaining reading, but one can&#x27;t really take any of it as fact.
