Answer to Question 1

No-fault grounds for divorce are grounds that do not require a party to prove that the other party is to blame for the breakdown of the marriage. As a result, no-fault divorces (particularly if uncontested) tend to be less costly both financially and emotionally. Marital misconduct is largely irrelevant. Each state establishes its own no-fault grounds or standards, and approximately forty percent of the states have eliminated fault grounds entirely and have only a single no-fault standard. The two most common no-fault grounds are: a) irreconcilable differences and b) living separate and apart.
