What is a “no fault” divorce?

“No fault” divorce means that the domestic partner or spouse filing for divorce does not have to prove fault lies with the other spouse or domestic partner in order to be granted a divorce. One party in the marriage simply has to state that the couple simply cannot get along, which is legally referred to as “irreconcilable differences.”

Having a lawyer by your side can help to ease the stress of a difficult divorce situation, regardless of whether you are pursuing a no fault or fault divorce.
