Today’s post is brief but very necessary and of the utmost importance.
The grounds for divorce depend on the sate where you live with very few exceptions. Basically the grounds are the reasons that a divorce petition is filed.
Many states grant divorces with no fault which means that there are irreconcilable differences with the husband and wife and that neither party is to blame.
There are also states which have fault based grounds which usually include adultery, abuse, desertion, substance abuse, incarceration and insanity.
The best thing to do if you are wondering about what is applicable to you is to check the statutes for your state. You can check the links page of this site to help you. It is extremely important to learn about your state’s statutes and not allow anyone to get you caught up in fault issues if they don’t even apply.
Many women have spent way too much money on detectives and billable attorney’s hours when they were not necessary to petition the courts for divorce.
