Divorce
- Grounds for divorce
There are several grounds for divorce; the most common are listed below:
- Irreconcilable differences
(also known as "no fault")
- Mental cruelty
- Physical cruelty
- Adultery
- Abandonment
- Alternatives to Divorce
- Legal Separation. Very similar to a divorce, but the parties remain legally married.
Child support or maintenance/alimony is available, but marital property is usually not divided.
- Annulment. A declaration that the marriage is invalid.
Child custody, support and division of marital property still applies.
- Property Division
Courts divide martial property and debt based upon what it believes to be fair. Marital property is any property or debt acquired during the time that a couple is married (certain exceptions may include gifts or inheritances.)
