State Laws
The difference between "no fault" divorce and "fault" divorce?

When you file for a "no fault" divorce, you don't have to prove that your spouse did anything wrong or was in prison or a mental institution. All you have to say is that the marriage can no longer work, in whatever language the state requires (for example, "we have irreconcilable differences").

To obtain a "fault" divorce, you must prove physical or mental cruelty, abandonment, or whatever other grounds for divorce your state allows.
