The grounds may be based on no-fault or fault. Over the last twenty years, “no-fault” has replaced “fault” as the dominant basis for obtaining a divorce. No-fault divorces are considered to be a more humane and realistic way to end a marriage. Husbands and wives who are divorcing usually are suffering enough without adding more fuel to the emotional fires by trying to prove who did what to whom. The PA no-fault divorce laws recognize that human relationships are complex and that it is difficult to prove that a marriage broke down solely because of what one person did. A Pennsylvania no-fault divorce is a divorce in which neither the wife nor husband blames the other for breakdown of the marriage. There are no accusations necessary to obtain a divorce and no need to prove “guilt” or “fault”.
