Irreconcilable differences for|the 1984 film|Irreconcilable Differences (film)The concept of irreconcilable differences provides a possible ground for divorce in a number of jurisdictions.
In Australian family law with no-fault divorce it is the sole ground, adequate proof being that the estranged couple have been separated more than 12 months.
In the United States it can be one ground. Often they are used as justification for a no-fault divorce. In many cases irreconcilable was the original and only ground for no-fault divorce, such as in California, which enacted America's first no-fault divorce law in 1969. [cite journal|title=Have We Found Fault in No Fault Divorce?|journal=The Family Coordinator|author=Robbins, Norman N.|year=1973|pages=361|volume=23|issue=3]
Any sort of difference between the two parties that either cannot be changed or the individual does not want to change can be considered irreconcilable differences.
