Grounds for Divorce
Common grounds for a fault divorce are adultery, bigamy, cruelty, desertion, incest and insanity. In addition, many states have adopted “no fault” divorce laws that allow divorce without showing that one spouse was at fault. In no fault states, a divorce can frequently be obtained because of incompatibility or irreconcilable differences or if spouses live apart for a period of time—often a year.
In certain circumstances, a fault divorce may offer a better legal strategy for you. Your lawyer can guide you on the best way to proceed.
