What is the impact of the preponderance of the evidence standard on a motion for divorce?

The third part of the analysis examines the principles specific to the particular standards of proof under consideration. For instance, "[w]hen the preponderance of the evidence standard applies, the parties to an action share the risk of an erroneous determination more or less equally. ( In re Marriage of Peters, supra , 52 Cal.App.4th at p. 1490, 61 Cal.Rptr.2d 493.) "Any other standard expresses a preference for one side's interests" ( Weiner v. Fleischman, supra , 54 Cal.3d at p. 488, 286 Cal.Rptr. 40, 816 P.2d 892 ) ...." ( Ettefagh, supra , 150 Cal.App.4th at p. 1589, 59 Cal.Rptr.3d 419.) Generally, imposing a burden of proof higher than a preponderance of the evidence "occurs only when interests "more substantial than mere loss of money" are at stake." ( Id. at p. 1590, 59 Cal.Rptr.3d 419.)
