A quick search will find the National Organisation of Women Lawyers, and specifically women's rights lawyer Herma Hill Kay as the key instigators of the law:

The Uniform Divorce Bill
"The greatest project NAWL has ever undertaken" is the description given by committee chair Matilda Fenberg to NAWL's pioneering work to create a Uniform Divorce Bill. At the 1947 NAWL convention in Cleveland, it was voted to draft and promote a bill that would embody the ideal of no-fault divorce. A draft prepared by Fenberg, working with NAWL past presidents Helen M. Cirese and J. Helen Slough, was approved at the 1952 convention in Berkeley, California."

"Herma Hill Kay helped shape family law and anti-discrimination law, most notably as the co-author of California's no-fault divorce act."
With no-fault widely understood as the reason for rise in divorce, why would feminists instigate it?
