What is No-fault Divorce?

Category: Divorce

Getting a divorce can be a difficult process. The bitter battles that occur in court can be very stressful on all parties. Thankfully, there are some options for settling issues outside of court. This can save time, money, and stress.

A no-fault divorce is a process in which a couple can get a divorce without any blame being assigned to the other party. Usually, a spouse must prove that the marriage has irretrievably broken down for at least six months. Some states have different requirements, such as a physical separation of several months or years.

A no-fault divorce can be a quick process. It eliminates the need for accusing the other party of wrongdoing, which can prolong the process. It also keeps parties focused on moving forward. No fault divorce laws are available in every state.

If you are unsure of whether you should use no-fault or fault divorce, speak with a qualified divorce attorney. They can explain the advantages and drawbacks of both options.

No-fault divorce can save time and money. It is usually easier to prove grounds for a divorce than to prove fault. Fault grounds can include things like adultery, substance abuse, or domestic violence.

It can also be easier to establish fault grounds than to prove cruelty. Proving fault can take up a lot of time, which can be difficult for the other party to handle. The other party can challenge a no-fault divorce, which may prolong the process.
