At Fault Divorce

At Fault Divorce in West Chester PA

In Pennsylvania, spouses still can be divorced under fault-based grounds.  Fault based divorces are awarded to the “innocent and injured spouse” when the other spouse has willfully deserted the marriage for a period greater than one year, committed adultery, endangered the life or health of the other spouse, entered into a bigamous marriage, been sentenced to prison for two of more years, or “offered such indignities to the innocent and injured spouse as to render that spouse’s condition intolerable and life burdensome.”  Have more questions regarding a Chester County PA At Fault divorce case?  Contact attorney Joshua Janis of Ciccarelli Lawyers.

Does it make sense to pursue an At Fault Divorce:  It is often expensive to proceed in this emotionally charged manner and often yields little benefits to do so.  In fact, fault is irrelevant for purposes of marital property division and only plays a limited role in support cases.  Most divorces are now processed under the no-fault divorce methods.
