No-Fault Divorce A no-fault divorce is
typically a non-complication divorce that is offered in every state. A
no-fault divorce is normally filed when there is no wrongdoing by either
party. No-fault divorce will usually give the reason for the divorce as
irreconcilable differences or incompatibility. These reasons have been
recognized by the law. Irreconcilable differences mean that the couple
filing for divorce does not see eye to eye. During a no-fault divorce
many states have a mandatory separation period before the divorce can be
processed. This is a very common type of divorce filing as it is no
longer required to prove wrongdoing. Even though the no-fault divorce is
typically less complicated there are still issues that need to be
resolved such as custody, asset distribution, child support, and in some
cases alimony.
At-Fault Divorce At-fault divorce is
not available in every state. However, there are circumstances that an
at-fault divorce should be filed when available. When there is obvious
wrongdoing by one of the people in the marriage such as abuse, adultery
or abandonment it may be useful to file an at-fault divorce. When
wrongdoing is a factor filing the at-fault divorce could mean that the
other person will receive more of the couple's assets. A benefit of
filing an at-fault divorce is that there is no separation period
requiring meaning the divorce tends to be processed faster.
