Deciding to pursue
divorce is one of the most difficult and emotional decisions you
will ever make, particularly if you have children. Divorce also
involves business and legal questions that must be resolved. An
experienced family law attorney will help you to understand the
basic issues and use a rational perspective to approach the
process.
Grounds for Divorce
Traditionally, every state required a person filing
for divorce to prove "grounds" or some type of spousal fault in
order to obtain a divorce. Today, the majority of states allow at
least one form of "no-fault" divorce, which does not require proof
of fault. If no-fault divorce is available in your state, either
member of the couple may obtain a divorce, even if the other party
does not consent to the divorce.
